Quote: Annan condemns lack of action over Darfur 02 Jul 2005 12:56:21 GMT Source: Reuters
LONDON, July 2 (Reuters) - The conflict in Sudan's Darfur region could grow into a repeat of the Rwandan genocide but the world seems to have learned nothing from its slow response to that tragedy, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has said. "Are we going to repeat what happened in Rwanda?" Annan told a BBC Panorama documentary entitled "Never Again" to be aired on Sunday. "Is it going to be another Rwanda? And can we ... if that is it, can we sit back and not act," he said, in some of the strongest language he has used about the crisis. Asked how history would judge the international response, Annan said: "Quite likely that we were slow, hesitant, uncaring and that we have learned nothing from Rwanda." An estimated 180,000 people have died from fighting, hunger and disease in Darfur, in Sudan's west, and 2 million people have fled their homes to escape slaughter, pillaging and rape in what the United States has termed "acts of genocide". John Danforth, a former U.S. envoy to Sudan and Ambassador to the United Nations, told the programme America could not consider military intervention in Darfur following its involvement in Iraq. "I think that one of the lessons of Iraq is that even if you think the military action is justified, it's difficult and it's not something that's completed quickly," he said. "With respect to Sudan, this is a very large country and if there was to be a military invasion ... the question that I think is always going to be raised after Iraq (is) how long do you plan to stay there and what's your future obligation?" The U.N. Security Council has referred Darfur to the International Criminal court to investigate the alleged crimes. An African Union force of more than 2,300 soldiers and hundreds of civilian police are deployed in Darfur to monitor a ceasefire agreed in April last year between mostly non-Arab rebels and the Arab-dominated government in Khartoum.

حدائق الحيوانات فى كندا افضل عشر مرات من معسكرات اللاجئين فى دارفور!
Toronto Star Jul. 3, 2005. 01:00 AM `Canadian zoo 10 times better' than Darfur refugee camps
Canadian Friends of Sudan founder Justin Laku recently paid a four-day visit to three refugee camps outside of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur. "In comparison, the condition of a Canadian zoo is 10 times better," Ottawa resident Laku said of the camps. "There is no water, no sanitation, no toilets, nothing whatsoever." The Sudanese-born Laku says he saw more than 20,000 people at each camp, primarily women and children, living in overcrowded conditions where waterborne bacteria cause rampant diarrhea. "There is no shelter, no blankets — nothing. People are sleeping on sand." Laku says women walk from four to five hours each morning to collect water and firewood from the closest available source, a task he says leaves them vulnerable to rape by janjaweed patrols in the area. He met with six women at one camp who spoke of being raped by 15 militiamen and says he heard reports of girls as young as 9 being victimized. In May, two doctors from Médecins Sans Frontières were arrested and charged for crimes against the state after a March 8 MSF report said the group had treated 500 female rape victims between October 2004 and last February. Last month, the International Criminal Court in The Hague launched an investigation of 51 potential war-crimes suspects. Lauren La Rose

رواندا ترسل 12000 جندى الى دارفور منتصف يوليو الجارى
Rwanda to send 1,200 troops to Darfur in mid-July 04 Jul 2005 18:15:45 GMT Source: Reuters
By Opheera McDoom SIRTE, Libya, July 4 (Reuters) - Rwanda will send at least 1,200 troops to Darfur in mid-July to prevent further conflict in the troubled Sudanese region, Foreign Minister Charles Murigande said on Monday. Tens of thousands have been killed and more than 2 million have fled their homes during a rebellion in its third year in Darfur. A 3,000-strong African Union force has been monitoring a shaky ceasefire in the arid western Sudanese region. Murigande told Reuters in an interview that his country's troops would intervene to protect civilians if they saw them under attack, despite the limited monitoring mandate of the AU force there. "Our troops will not stand by, watch civilians being attacked and do nothing," he said on the sidelines of an African leaders' summit that discussed Darfur. "The mere fact that we are still needed there means that not enough is being done," he added. "The very day the world would have done enough it would mean that the situation would have become normal." Rwanda, 11 years after a genocide that killed about 800,000 people, has been among the top contributors of troops to Darfur to stop the violence, which the United States has labelled genocide. The International Criminal Court last month launched a probe into alleged war crimes in the region. Murigande also said his country would send more troops if necessary, adding that they would stay as long as the AU force was making a positive difference on the ground. "They are ready and they are starting the deployment on the 15th of this month," he said of the new batch of troops. "It is going to be around 1,200 troops," he said. Rwanda already has about 400 troops on the ground. Major conflict between government forces and rebels has subsided in recent weeks in Darfur, but the violence against civilians and clashes among armed militias has persisted, so the AU decided to increase its troops to more than 7,000 by October. DEMOCRACY QUESTIONED Murigande said Rwanda was surprised by a review of his country which an AU committee had conducted earlier this year that found the state lacking in democratic principles. "Rwanda knows very well that it (Rwanda) is not a paradise, but we invited people and we put ourselves bare-necked to be assessed and to be told where our weaknesses lie," he said. "But to have come up with such a criticism, it surprised us," he added. So-called peer reviews are conducted by fellow African governments as part of an AU project to improve the quality of governance in Africa. Murigande also said opposition groups, which are based abroad, were free to return and operate freely. "Rwanda is open -- we have been inviting them," he said. "They are free to come back and work and do whatever pleases them."

لويس مورينو مُدعى محكمة الجنايات الدولية يبدى قلقه على سلامة عمال الغوث و الشهود و الوثائق بالسودان!
The Washington Times | Estados Unidos, Washington La ICC se ocupa de Darfur
ICC takes up Darfur The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) gave Security Council members some unsettling information last week in his first public briefing on a three-week-old investigation into the situation at Darfur, western Sudan. The Darfur probe is the court's third after those in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and northern Uganda, and the first undertaken without an invitation from the government. Human rights advocates say it will be the first true test of the court's power. Luis Moreno-Ocampo of Argentina told Security Council members that aid workers had been targeted in Darfur and that his office feared for the safety of witnesses and the security of documents in Sudan. "The protection of victims and witnesses is a major challenge in any conflict situation, and it is a core responsibility shared by my office," he said. "The information currently available highlights the significant security risks facing civilians [and] local and international humanitarian personnel in Darfur. ... These issues will present persistent challenges for any genuine investigations." The African Union has been struggling to field a credible peacekeeping force in Darfur, where government-backed militias have dislocated a largely farming population. "There is a significant amount of credible information disclosing the commission of grave crimes within the jurisdiction of [the ICC] ... in Darfur. These crimes include the killing of thousands of civilians, the widespread destruction and #####ng of villages, leading to the displacement of approximately 1.9 million civilians," Mr. Moreno-Ocampo told the council on Wednesday. The Rome Statute creating the ICC stresses that the international court is to defer to national prosecutions. But Mr. Moreno-Ocampo said in his formal report to the council that any trials in Khartoum, Sudan's capital, are unlikely to interfere with ICC proceedings against the people "most responsible" for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The ICC has not taken any formal steps toward the Sudanese government, nor has the court requested visas for international investigators. Legal specialists say the extradition of suspects, especially if they are high-ranking Sudanese government or military officials, is likely to be a difficult matter. Sudanese Justice Minister Ali Mohamed Osman Yassin later told the British Broadcasting Corp. that the government has begun trials in southern Darfur against 10 suspects, accused of rape and other crimes. "We are very transparent, we are cooperative, and we would like to use all the rational logic to convince the ICC that this matter can be retained locally," he said.

العفو الدولية: الدستور الانتقالى الجديد يمنح رئيس الدولة و نائبه و اصحاب الوظائف العليا فى الدولة حصانات ضد اية محاكمات حيث تجاهل ذكر جرائم الحرب و الجرائم ضد الانسانية...!!!!!!!؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟
Quote: Sudan: New constitution provides sweeping immunity for high level officials Press release, 07/06/2005 The new Interim Consitition for Sudan, ratified today, provides sweeping immunity for the highest levels of the Sudanese government and demonstrates that the government is not serious about combating impunity, said Amnesty International. The organization added that this provides further evidence that the government of Sudan should not sideline the International Criminal Court in favour of national prosecutions of possible war crimes committed in the armed conflict in Darfur. "It is extremely troubling that in the context of one of the most serious conflicts in the world, in which tens of thousands of Sudanese have been the victims of gross human rights violations, a new interim Constitution would be approved that neglects to cite international crimes such as war crimes and crimes against humanity as crimes that should never carry immunity -- no matter what level of government the alleged perpetrator might occupy," said Kolawole Olaniyan, Director of Amnesty International's Africa Programme. “Although we welcome some of the human rights provisions in the new Constitution, particularly the greater emphasis placed on the rights of women and children, we have serious concerns that the Constitution grants high level immunity from prosecution for most crimes.” Article 60 of the Interim Constitution grants immunity from prosecution to the President and First Vice President of the Republic of the Sudan for all crimes except those of high treason, gross misconduct in relation to State affairs, and gross violations of the Constitution. In these cases, action against alleged perpetrators can only to be undertaken with the approval of three quarters of National Legislature members. Article 92 grants similar immunity for members of the National Legislature. No reference is made to international legal standards in limiting immunity in either article. "Even though no high-ranking officials have been named in connection with international crimes in Darfur, the provisions of the new Constitution call into serious question claims by the Sudanese government that the special national tribunals recently formed to deal with crimes in Darfur could be considered a suitable permanent substitute for the International Criminal Court," said Kolawole Olaniyan. "In short, by not excluding immunity for international crimes, the Interim Constitution risks enshrining impunity for those at the highest levels of government -- limited only by crimes the Government chooses to recognise as worthy of exemption from such immunity." Amnesty International also condemned the limiting of the Article 33 of the Interim Constitution to include a prohibition on cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment -- but not punishment. Previous drafts of the Constitution had prohibited "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment", in line with international standards. The deletion of the word "punishment" from the final draft of the Constitution leaves the door open to punishments such as flogging and amputation, which now remain legal under Sudanese law. This omission constitutes a serious breach of Sudan’s obligations under Article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to which it is a party. Amnesty International also expressed serious concern at today's failure to abolish the death penalty in Sudan -- particularly as it applies to those under the age of 18. The organization said that this failure is incompatible with Sudan's legal obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. Background Amnesty International issued a Memorandum to National Constitutional Review Commission regarding its recommendations on the draft Constitution in May 2005.

U.N. withdraws from Darfur camps GENEVA, Switzerland, July 8 (UPI) -- International aid workers have been forced to withdraw from refugee camps in Darfur after being attacked by young men with sticks and stones. Eight aid workers were injured, none seriously, in camps serving up to 70,000 internal refugees in the war-torn region of Sudan, a spokesman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva. The attacks occurred at the start of a registration process for food distribution conducted by the U.N. World Food Program. "Initial reports from UNHCR staff indicate that as people were lining up to be registered, some groups of young men armed with sticks and stones began attacking aid workers who were supervising the registration," said Ron Redmond, a spokesman for the refugee agency. Workers with UNHCR, WFP, the U.N. Children's Fund and all non-governmental organizations withdrew from most camps in western Darfur and were escorted to safety by African Union forces, he said. The attacks come two weeks after the United Nations had upgraded its estimate of how many people in Darfur would need food aid, from 2.8 million to 3.5 million.

Dear Darfur Supporters, Below is an invitation from Tim Roeper who is hosting a meeting to raise awareness about genocide in Darfur. We hope you can come. If you have any questions, his email is: [email protected] From: Tim Roeper, Tom Roeper, and Laura Holland
Please Come to an: EVENT TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT GENOCIDE IN DARFUR Sunday July 17 4-6:30 pm, 149 High St, Amherst (near the Amherst Middle School, on right; for directions to our house, please call 413-256-0390) We will hold a SAGE-cosponsored event at our house in Amherst (149 High Street) to raise awareness about the genocide in Darfur (where 15,000 people are being killed each month), and to raise funds for the Genocide Intervention Fund (GIF.)
Founded by Swarthmore College students and including student groups nationwide, GIF has been lobbying the U.S. government to take stronger action to prevent the genocide in Darfur, and also raising money to buy essential supplies for the woefully under-funded African Union (AU) Peacekeeping Force, which is at this point the only peacekeeping force in Darfur. GIF has been covered in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Boston Globe, and many other major newspapers around the country. On April 6th, the GIF launched its "100 Days of Action Campaign" by bringing over 300 college students from around the country to meet with their congressmen and senators’ legislative aids and press them to support both the Darfur Genocide Accountability Act and Darfur Accountability Act. The GIF has been sponsored by several senators and congressmen from both sides of the aisle, as well as genocide expert Samantha Power and UN Special Advisor on Genocide Juan Mendes. On July 17, a representative from GIF, John Boonstra, will be here to give information about the organization, and raise money for GIF's 100 Days of Action Campaign. The money we raise will go to buy the AU peacekeeping force non-lethal equipment (no guns) for their peacekeeping mission in Darfur. A few extra all-terrain vehicles and radios can allow the troops to cover a lot more ground and be much more effective in saving lives. In the areas where they have been present, the AU peacekeeping forces have been successful at reducing attacks.
Please come on July 17 to hear more about GIF and learn how you can help. (For directions to our house, please call 413-256-0390.) The situation in Darfur is a humanitarian crisis that requires immediate action. For more information, go to www.genocideinterventionfund.org.
If you would like to support GIF but cannot attend the event, please make a contribution by writing out a check to "Center for American Progress" with "Genocide Intervention Fund" in the memo line. Send checks to our house in Amherst and we will send them together with the other checks to GIF. You may also donate online through the GIF website. We would appreciate it if you could notify us of any donations made online. You can also help out by writing letters to Congressmen about Darfur legislation as part of GIF's letterwriting campaign, to learn more about that, go to: www.genocideinterventionfund.org/action/legislation.php or reply to this email with questions. Tim Roeper, Tom Roeper, and Laura Holland\

Quote: Fresh Killings By Militiamen in Darfur Alleged Vanguard (Lagos) July 10, 2005 Posted to the web July 11, 2005 Kingsley Omunobi A NEW dimension to the factricidal war in Darfur, Sudan has emerged with thousands of internally displaced persons, who are taking refuge in overflowing relief camps being prevented from going back to their villages or alternative camps by unidentified gun men, with security and police sources saying they were being instigated by humanitarian agencies. The allegation came just as the leader of the over 150,000 internally displaced persons IDPs Kalma camp, the largest IDP camp in Darfur, Sheik Ali, accused Sudanese government forces of killing and maiming Darfur people, their horses, donkeys and raping their women whenever they planned to return home. In one of such attacks two days ago, five persons were killed and four injured when about 10 militiamen on horseback, wearing mask, opened fire on internally displaced persons who were on their way to the Al-Salam humanitarian camp, an alternative camp meant to decongest the Kalma camp, where there were threats of outbreak of disease and malnutrition. Sunday Vanguard investigations in Darfur through visits to IDP camps located in Graida, Otash and Kalma, showed that both the humanitarian agencies and the government of Sudan were guilty of complicity in the matter. While the humanitarian agencies would prefer that those displaced remained in the camps to ensure that they remained in business, the fact of inaccessibility and dangers inherent in moving relief materials through rebel held areas were cited as reasons for creating fear in the minds of the internally displaced persons not to leave. On the part of government forces, the continued caging of the people of Darfur in IDP camps suited the policy of the government having fewer problems of agitations to deal with, while GOS forces concentrate on fighting the rebel forces of the Sudanese Liberation Army and JEM (Justice and Equality Movement). According to Sheik Ali, who said he is an indigene of Nyalla, capital of South Darfur, "We are ready to move out of this camp because it is over stretched. But anytime our people make the move, along the road between here and Nyalla, the GOS forces (Government of Sudan) open fire killing the men, the houses, the donkeys and raping our women." "As a result of these incidents, the IDP's are afraid to move out to their villages or other camps meant to decongest the Kalma camp." However, the Force Commander of the mission, Maj-General Festus Okonkwo, has ordered civil police team of the A. U. mission to put in place modalities that would allow the protection forces to accompany humanitarian relief supplies or IDPs willing to relocate to alternate camps so that threats of disease outbreaks would be minimized.
