Darfur in The Hague for two days!
International Conference
October 23-24, 12.00 – 20.00 0’clock
Carlton Beach Hotel, Room 1 first floor
(Gevers Deynootweg 201)
Program
Dear brothers and sisters,
You have indicated your intention to attend the International Conference on the Root Causes of the Crisis in Darfur. In this letter we pass some more information about the programme.
The aim of the Conference is to have a genuine dialogue between Sudanese and others on the Darfur crisis and other problems of Sudan, and to come to commonly shared conclusions.
The meeting is not meant as an academic conference with lengthy papers, but as an action oriented meeting meant for dialogue and agreements. Interventions by the speakers will be brief and to the point. At several moments the audience will be involved in the discussions.
We have split up the programme into the following parts:
PART ONE
IDENTITY AND CULTURES IN SUDAN
After a warm welcome by a Sudanese and a non-Sudanese and a brief introduction to the Conference by the moderator, some speakers will be asked to focus on commonalities such as tolerance, hospitality, interdependency, intermarriage, mutual respect and recognition, conflict resolution at micro-level and other (multicultural) aspects. Reactions from the audience.
Next the non-commonalities will be focussed at. A Sudanese will be interviewed extensively, followed by a panel discussion on his statement. Reactions from the audience.
Can the negotiations and agreements reached so far between GoS and the SPLM in the South be a model to solve frictions in other parts of Sudan? Two speakers will answer this question, followed by a panel discussion and a discussion with the audience.
Dinner from 17.30 – 18.30
PART TWO
ROOT CAUSES OF THE CRISIS IN DARFUR AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Before we go into the root causes of the conflict in Darfur, the humanitarian impact of the war in Darfur will be discussed. We try to have a direct line with someone in Darfur to pass the latest news on the situation there. There is ample room for interventions by the audience.
(Sunday at noon)
We now focus on the root causes of the crisis in Darfur, with contributions from GoS, SLA and JEM, with reactions from other speakers and the audience, and special attention for the differences and similarities between the situations in the South and in Darfur.
Next we discuss possible solutions for the crisis in Darfur, again with contributions by GoS, SLA, JEM and one or two others, then to be selected. Here the audience will be involved too.
PART THREE
THE ROLE OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
We begin with the role of the Sudanese Diaspora, with special reference to the situation in The Netherlands. Someone will very briefly explain the waves in the coming of Sudanese refugees in the Netherlands and the growth of contacts between different Sudanese in the Netherlands since 1999.
Then we discuss together possibilities for the Sudanese Diaspora.
After this, the role of non-Sudanese will be discussed. We expect contributions about policies and practices of the Netherlands Government (including a report about the recent visit of the Troika to Sudan), of Dutch NGOs and public opinion. Europe and the USA will also be dealt with.
Dinner 17.30 – 18.30
CONCLUSION
A The Hague Declaration on the Crisis in Darfur will be prepared and discussed with the audience.
Dear brothers and sisters,
On both Saturday and Sunday the session starts at 12.00 o’clock. Apart from some tea breaks, on both days dinner will be served. Ramadan will be respected.
As far as transport to the meeting hall in The Hague/Scheveningen is concerned, trams 1 and 9, and bus 22 all pass by it, the last station.
We are quite confident that - with the presence of so many prominent, well-informed and committed speakers who represent all angles of the present problems of Sudan (see the list below) and with an audience, which also has many committed Sudanese and non-Sudanese amongst them - the conference can become quite meaningful and successful.
It will be a pleasure to welcome you on Saturday the 23rd and Sunday the 24th,
The organisers of the NSON,
Mohamed Gamaleldin Hamid
Salih Kaki
