Compensation
In Khartoum, the Parliament's recommendation to compensate those who are disarmed and stripped of four-wheel-drive vehicles in Darfur as part of a government plan in the region to collect arms has provoked a debate among MPs.
MPs called for confiscating weapons without compensation and considered that the compensation would open the door to the arms trade.
MP El Tijani Sese, the former head of the Darfur Regional Authority warned of the step. He pointed out that this will lead to the flow of weapons from neighbouring countries.
On Wednesday during the reply deliberations of the MPs on the draft speech of the President of the Republic, Sese called for the separation of arms collection from the return of displaced persons contained in the recommendation.
He conditioned the return of displaced persons with the return to restore what has been destroyed by the war.
MP Yagoub Ishag said that the question of compensation will open the door for arms trade in Darfur. He stressed the deletion of the recommendation from the draft reply.
The Deputy Speaker Ahmad Tijani explained that the collection of weapons will be without compensation and that the latter will be reserved for owners of four-wheel-drive vehicles only.
