A senior US delegation on Thursday held talks with the leadership of the Sudan Peoples’ Liberation Movement (SPLM) n the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa focused on the US proposal on the humanitarian issue after the US side showed flexibility in discussing the proposal.
The leader of the SPLM, Malik Agar, told Dabanga Radio today that the movement's leadership delegation held two sessions of dialogue with the US on what he called the US-Sudanese proposal, the latest of which was on Thursday.
He explained that the delegation of the movement presented eight points to improve the proposal at the discussion table with the American delegation headed by Paul Stevens, director of the Office of the US envoy and the current official on the Sudan file in the US State Department.
He said the discussion appeared to be a step-by-step approach to the final director.
"I think they have enough flexibility and we have flexibility if we take into account our improvements."
Agar said his movement promised the US delegation to continue to present proposals and promised at the same time to hold more sessions to continue the dialogue.
He described the dialogue as constructive and accepted the proposals made by the movement from the American side with a warm welcome
Improvements
Agar said that the SPLM position has not yet changed from what he called the US-Sudanese proposal. He explained that since the meeting in Paris earlier this year, the movement has made improvements to the proposal via seven adjustable points, but the former American Union administration says that it did not have sufficient at the end of its term.
He said the movement had said at the time that it was ready to discuss the proposal but it had some reservations and concerns that require treatment, which was written by the American administration at the time.
He explained that the current development is that the director of the Office of the former envoy came himself and showed flexibility to discuss and welcomed it
For his part, Mubarak Ardual, the official spokesman for the meeting with the American delegation, also discussed the lifting of sanctions and the need to include the normalisation of relations issues of comprehensive peace and democratization as the main demands of the Sudanese people.
Ardual said in a statement yesterday that the delegation of the SPLM raised during yesterday’s meeting yesterday the government air strikes in the Nuba Mountains aimed at terrorising civilians and stop preparing to prepare the land for agriculture in the coming rainy season, which is a flagrant violation of the obligations of the system and coincided with reports of bombing Aviation system for civilians in the villages of Jebel Marra.
He said that the movement's delegation stressed the need to raise these issues in the framework of reviews of normalization issues with the government.
