DOHA - The motion that the "Arab governments could not care less about Darfur" was overwhelmingly carried at Qatar Foundation's Doha Debates yesterday.
Of the packed audience, 81 per cent voted for the motion. They felt that the Arab governments need to do much more to resolve the humanitarian crisis in Darfur. The debate was chaired by Tim Sebastian.
"The Arab role in Darfur was minimal. There is a lack of information about what is happening in Darfur.
Arabs have not yet understood the concept of unity among diversity," said Ahmed Ibrahim Diraige, former governor of Darfur who was speaking for the motion.
Diraige is currently chairman of the Sudan Federal Democratic Alliance and head of the opposition National Redemption Front Alliance group of rebels.
He was joined by Nadim Hasabani, African specialist at the International Crisis Group, who was part of the ICG group responsible for monitoring the conflict in Darfur.
Nadim alleged that the Sudanese government has imposed a media blackout in Darfur to cover up the "massive killings and brutalities" being committed by the government militia.
His claim that 200,000 people were killed in Darfur was countered by Sirajuddin Hamid Yusuf, Director of the Crisis Management Department at the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Zaid Al Sabban, head of the African Affairs division at the office of the secretary-general of Arab League joined Sirajuddin to oppose the motion. Both ruled out reports about mass killings in Darfur as part of the western media propaganda.
"The authenticity of such reports were never verified. Figures about the killings differ in various reports and they are highly exaggerated," said Sirajuddin.
Nadim said that it was not possible to get accurate information about the happenings in Darfur since the Sudanese government has imposed a media censorship in Darfur.
He claimed that he had documented testimonies of hundreds of Darfurians staying in refugee camps about the killings and rape carried out by the government forces.
He said the Arab media was never allowed to cover the incidents in Darfur, while reports appearing in the western media are collected by journalists, who venture into the region illegally without the knowledge or permission of the Sudanese government.
Diraige said that the Arab governments should do more to resolve the crisis than pledging donations. "They give money and keep away from the crisis" he said, when quizzed by Tim Sebastian about the $250m pledged by the Arab governments to support Darfur.
He said the Arab governments should stop giving "unfettered" support to the Sudanese government on the issue of Darfur.
Asked why the Arab government shoud support the Sudanese government, Nadim said "My dictatorship will protect your dictatorship. That is the only logic behind this."
Sirajuddin said, the American government is keen to keep the Darfur issue alive to divert attention from Iraq and the Israeli atrocities in Palestine.
