DARFUR

(

15 Oct

.) -

Last week, Minni Minawi, leader of a faction of the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM-MM), dismissed four commanders, accusing them of treason and communicating with the enemy.

A group of dissident SLM-MM commanders had demanded reforms and transparency, and accused Minawi of nepotism and corruption,andnbsp;Sudan Tribuneandnbsp;reported on Tuesday.

Rebel sources allege that the new split in Minawi’s group is instigated by the Chadian president Idris Deby. In 2012 he encouraged a faction of the Justice and Equality Movement led by Mohamed Bashar to break away and sign a peace agreement with the Sudanese government.
