الخطاب اللذي تسلمه أوباما و فيه فضح لخطط البشير و حسبو لتغيير التركيبة السكانية لدارفور- ترجمة

Al-Bashir has appointed his deputy, a vicious Janjaweed leader named Hassabo Mohamed Abdel Rahman, to spearhead the project of erasing Darfur as it had been known and shared by all ethnicities. While violence against the people rages in Darfur, Sudan seeks to end the UNAMID force that was supposed to protect Darfuris. Abdel Rahman declared in December 2015 that Darfur has “completely recovered from the war” and pledged to completely dismantle the IDP camps saying that “the year 2016 will see the end of displacement in Darfur.” The choices the regime is offering to the IDPs are grim: Either accept resettlement to government-designated areas (the poorest lands rather than the original fertile lands they had farmed) or return to their original locales (but not their original lands since they are occupied by new settlers) and serve as cheap labor to the new owners.

The Government of Sudan has declared a referendum to be held in Darfur in April. However, this referendum is not a chance for Darfuris to determine their future, but rather another cynical scheme. The Government seeks confirmation that Darfur will be broken into five states, thereby reducing the possibility of effective political opposition from Darfur. Abdel Rahman is publicly promoting that the names of the mini-states should be changed from Darfur (the historic name which means Land of Fur – the indigenous African tribe) to Dar al-Salam (an Arabic name meaning Land of Peace), so there will not even be a reference to Darfur as a region.

As a result of these coordinated actions, the Government of Sudan may prove successful in completing its program of genocide in Darfur, with power and wealth concentrated in the hands of Janjaweed-led rulers in all new states of what was once known as Darfur, while inducing poverty and harsh living conditions and deprivation of education on the indigenous communities in Darfur to further break them down as a people.

Mr. President, throughout history, the perpetrators of genocide were never satisfied with just wiping out their victims en masse from the face of the earth. These perpetrators, in cold, calculated, methodical ways, devised plans and schemes to erase the identity, culture, language, and way of life of their victims.

This criminal method is exactly what is going on in Darfur now.

In 2006, as Senator Barack Obama, you sat down under a tree in a refugee camp in Chad with a Darfuri who kept your picture and calls you a friend. Mahmoud Anoor Hamed, a leader in Milé camp in Eastern Chad, said you were a very good listener. All he was hoping for was to return home and see justice. You said you wanted to “play some small part to remind people that the situation here is not resolved” and said it “is important that these folks here are not forgotten.”

Darfuris are sure of one thing. Had it not been for America (including both your administration and that of President Bush, Congress, Activists and millions of ordinary Americans), there would be no survivors in Darfur’s genocide.

Mr. President, please remember Darfur now and help the survivors.

I listened to your State of the Union speech and was struck by your determination to use your executive power, the “bully pulpit,” and the influence of your office to achieve goals important to you and your Presidency in your final year. Please make Sudan one of your priorities in 2016 and renew your pledge and redouble your efforts to help the oppressed and endangered people of Sudan.
