فشل وملطشة الوزير علي كرتي
|
يعاني وزير خارجية المؤتمر الوطني علي كرتي من الاهمال والتهميش اينما حل وذهب. ذهب الي روسيا وهي تعتبر دوله صديقه لهم، فاعتذر وزير خارجيتها عن عقد مؤتمر صحفي مشترك معه - تقليد راسخ في الدبلوماسيه - مما اضطره التحدث الي الوكالات منفردا ذهب الان الي فرنسا فلم تنقل خبر زيارته اي وكاله انباء ولا حتي القنوات العربيه واقتصر نقل خبر لقائه بالوزيره الفرنسيه علي وكالة السودان للانباء الرسميه. لم تشر القناه الفرنسيه العربيه الي خبر اللقاء، ولم تعقد هي الاخري مؤتمر صحفيا معه.
الوزير الذي جاء الي فرنسا للبحث في مشكلة رئيسه مع محكمة الجنايات الدوليه والديون، خرج خالي الوفض وطلب منه ضمان الاستفتاء ومواصلة عملية السلام في دارفور ولم يحصل علي اي وعد حول القضايا التي اتي لمناقشتها. كل ما قاله كرتي " انه ( احس) بتفهم جيد من الوزيره لموقف السودان من المحكمه" اللهم لا شماته!
Quote: January 4, 2011 (PARIS) – Sudan foreign minister Ali Karti on Tuesday held talks in Paris with his French counterpart that focused on the issue of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and efforts to waive Sudan’s foreign debts Sudan’s official news agency SUNA quoted Karti as saying that his meeting with France’s foreign minister Michele Alliot Marie tackled primarily the issue of the ICC in view of the fact that France previously took “negative positions” because some of its officials advocated the ICC. The Hague-based court is seeking the arrest of three Sudanese individuals, including president Al-Bashir on charges war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide allegedly committed in course of a counterinsurgency campaign mounted by the Khartoum government and its allied militias in Sudan’s restive western region of Darfur.
The ICC’s arrest warrant managed to curtail the movement of Al-Bashir who was recently asked to cancel two planned trips to Libya and the Central African Republic (CAR) which reportedly caved in to pressure from France. Sudan was outraged by the two diplomatic humiliations, prompting Karti in December to say that his country had decided to review its relations with a number of EU countries which seek to undermine Sudan. On Monday the French top diplomat said she will convey to her Sudanese counterpart her government’s desire to see a timely referendum and resumption of peace talks in Doha. Karti, who said he had briefed the French minister on latest developments in Sudan and the referendum on south Sudan independence, was further quoted as saying that he sensed a good understating from the French minister on Sudan’s position regarding the ICC.
According to Karti, there are now fresh viewpoints which see ICC issue from the angle of caring for peace in Sudan and the referendum. The minister further added that there were new signs that the UN Security Council could reconsider its position on the matter, The ICC’s proceedings against Al-Bashir can be suspended for up to one year renewable if members of the UN Security Council agreed to invoke article 16 of the Rome Statue, which provides for such deferral. One French observer told Sudan Tribune it is highly unlikely that France would change its position on the ICC. However, he said it is possible for France to help Sudan’s efforts to relieve debts but this would also be contingent on a number of conditions, including a solution to Darfur conflict, smooth referendum on south Sudan independence and a recommendation from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Karti said Sudan has managed to elicit a commitment from France to help efforts to relieve its foreign debts with the EU. He said that France had promised to move on Sudan’s foreign debts in the next few days. Sudan has long been engaged in frantic diplomatic efforts to relieve its foreign debt which, according to official records, stands at $35.7 billion, a little less of which is the original amount borrowed whereas the rest is divided between interest and late payment penalties. IMF’s forecasts show that Sudan’s external debts are projected to reach $37.8 billion in 2010. Sudan is complaining that political discord with the West has prevented it from joining the debt relief program known as the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC), which provides insolvent countries with low-interest loans to reduce external debts. http://www.sudaneseonline.com/ICC-issue-dominates-talks-of-Sudan,37500
