هل الاتفاقية سكرانة: 2000 مومس و200 زجاجة ويسكي دخلت على مفاوضي ابوجا..!

Quote: Daily Trust (Nigeria), by Andrew Walker May 8, 2006 Nigerian troops are among peacekeepers in Darfur denied pay for two months while delegates at the talks in Abuja are being given hundreds of thousands of naira in daily allowances, the Daily Trust can reveal. As_ the peace talks ended in Abuja in a "fragile" agreement between the Sudanese government and some of the rebels, sources at the Chida Hotel venue of the talks have revealed what some of the delegates have been spending their money on. Over 2,000 prostitutes visited the hotel since November, and at least 200 bottles of whiskey have been sold in the hotel shop. _ Delegates are given US $85 per day (N12,325). The talks have been going on for 169 days, the total amount given to each delegate is N2,082,925. AU peacekeepers in Darfur, of which a large number are Nigerians, earn $400 per month (N58,000), around N2,000 per day. It has been two months since any soldier in the peacekeeping forces has been paid, Nigerian envoy to the African Union confirmed yesterday. There are 7,000 AU peacekeeping troops in Darfur, most from Nigeria and Rwanda. Ambassador Sam Ibok, Nigerian envoy to the AU said: "There have been some cash flow problems, but that has been resolved now and troops will be paid in the next week or so. It's important that it is said that the problem has not been just for Nigerian troops. There are many other African nations involved in the peacekeeping effort." He defended the differential in pay, saying: "$80 is not a lot when you have to consider you have to buy lunch and dinner, laundry and such. We needed to have these talks because a lot of people were dying. We now have an agreement between the government and the main rebel group. It is a fragile peace but we hope to include the other rebel groups in the deal soon. The ceasefire and the security deal can be implemented and the agreement contains robust mechanisms for dealing with anyone who violates it." It was up to each delegate how they spent their money, he said. "We reminded them that they are representatives of their people, but what can we do about it? Everyone is entitled to his private life." But a government of Sudan spokesman called the details of the delegates spending "shameful". Abdul Rahman Zuma, said: "To think we came here to talk when people were dying every day, trying to find peace, and the people here were drinking whiskey and entertaining prostitutes. It is absolutely shameful. I can assure you that no one in the government delegation was involved in such specialisations." He declined to comment on the way the AU pays its peacekeeping forces. Jaffer Monro, spokesman for the Abdelwahid faction of the Sudanese Liberation Movement, which has not signed the agreement said: "Everyone has their own behaviour. It cannot be helped. As to the difference in pay, that is a matter for the African Union to address." Ahmed Hussein Adam, a spokesman for the Justice and Equality Movement, also refusing to sign, said: "I don't see that these figures have anything to do with anything. So what?" _The hotel has a register that must be signed by all single Nigerian girls coming in to stay the night with guests. Each page of the book contains 31 lines with the details of the visitor, and there are 66 full pages of signatures. The first date in the book is 28th November, eight days after the conference started. 2048 names are logged in the book seen by the Daily Trust._ At least 12 bottles of whiskey, sold at N2,300 each, were ordered every 10 days, a source in the hotel told the Daily Trust. 191 delegates stayed in the Chida hotel for the five and a half months of talks. The AU negotiation was funded by £1million donation by former UK Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw. The AU also receives funding from the European Union, the League of Arab Nations, The United States and the United Nations. The AU mission in Darfur, AMIS, spends about $23 million per month, according to sources inside the AU. It is currently planning to hand over peace keeping duties to the UN, but this will take at least nine months, Ambassador Ibok confirmed. The Sudanese government has not yet agreed to allow UN peacekeepers in. The Minni Minnawi faction of the SLM signed the peace deal on Friday after a joint effort by international envoys and President Obasanjo, as reported in the Weekly Trust on Saturday. British envoy, Hilary Benn, UK Minister for Development and International Cooperation, is believed to have worked on convincing rebels that the agreement addressed their concerns on power sharing in a democratic Sudan. US envoy, Charge d'Affairs in Khartoum, Cameron Hume, persuaded the Minni rebel faction to sign after persuading the government of Sudan to allow 5,000 rebel fighters to be integrated into the army and 2,000 into the police force, a Sudanese government minister told the Daily Trust on Friday. In Sudan the news of the peace deal was greeted cautiously. A sheikh in southern Darfur, Mohammed Omar Ahmed, told the Khaleej Times: "The people of Darfur have not learnt from other Sudanese peace deals. Conflict has crippled Sudan more than any other place. We need people to return to their senses. We want relationships to be restored, social unity and harmony should be brought back."
