“È un’accusa totalmente falsa, inventata dal governo sudanese per distogliere l’attenzione dai massacri dell’esercito in Darfur”. Contattato da Panorama.it, Esam Eldin Elhag, portavoce dei ribelli darfuriani del Movimento di Liberazione del Sudan (Slm), respinge al mittente le accuse per il dirottamento del Boeing 737 della Sun Air, avvenuto ieri pomeriggio poco dopo il decollo dalla città sudanese di Nyala e conclusosi oggi in Libia con la resa di due presunti membri di una fazione dell’Slm. Ma Elhag coglie l’occasione anche per fare il punto su una guerra che dura ormai da cinque anni e mezzo, e che ha provocato almeno 300.000 morti e due milioni tra profughi e sfollati.Signor Elhag, i due dirottatori sostengono di essere membri dell’Slm, in particolare della fazione facente capo a Abdel Wahid Mohammed al-Nur. A lei risulta che sia la verità?Niente di più falso. Posso affermare sia a nome del nostro gruppo che di quello di al-Nur che l’Slm non ha mai compiuto azioni contro civili, né in Darfur né altrove. Questa messinscena è opera del governo sudanese. Sono anni che a Khartoum premono perché l’Slm e il Movimento per la Giustizia e l’Uguaglianza (Jem, l’altro gruppo ribelle darfurino, ndr), siano inclusi nella lista delle organizzazioni terroristiche. Sperano di screditare la nostra azione e di distogliere l’attenzione internazionale dai massacri dell’esercito.Si spieghi meglio.Lunedì 25 agosto, l’esercito è entrato nel campo profughi di Kalma, in Darfur, e ha aperto il fuoco contro i civili. Il bilancio sudanese parla di 12 vittime, ma secondo le nostre fonti i morti sono 97 e i feriti 104. Mentre noi, quando attacchiamo l’esercito, lo facciamo lontano dalle aree civili.Ci sono novità sul fronte dei colloqui di pace?L’Slm è pronto a sedersi al tavolo delle trattative, ma non nelle condizioni attuali. Non abbiamo partecipato agli incontri di Sirte lo scorso ottobre, perché chiediamo come precondizione che le trattative vengano condotte da uno Stato non africano e neutrale, Svizzera o Paesi Bassi. Non possiamo accettare la mediazione della Libia, che ha troppi legami con il governo sudanese.Dal vostro punto di vista, la possibile incriminazione del presidente sudanese, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, davanti alla Corte Penale Internazionale, cambia qualcosa?Noi sosteniamo il lavoro della Corte, anche perché in Darfur non ci può essere pace senza giustizia. E questo significa che, fin quando Bashir rimarrà al potere, raggiungere un accordo sarà impossibile. Anche per colpa della comunità internazionale.Ritiene che l’Onu sia responsabile della situazione in Darfur?Il Consiglio di Sicurezza dell’Onu ha approvato 18 risoluzioni che condannano il governo sudanese per i crimini in Darfur, ma in concreto non è stato fatto nulla. L’esempio più lampante è quello dell’Unamid (la missione di pace congiunta di Onu e Unione Africana attualmente in Darfur, ndr). Ci sono voluti anni per costringere il governo di Khartoum ad accettarla, e ora che è operativa l’Onu non dà ai peacekeepers neanche i mezzi per muoversi. I caschi blu dovrebbero proteggere i civili, ma spesso vengono nel nostro territorio per sfuggire agli attacchi dell’esercito.Al momento sia l’Slm che il Jem sono divisi in diverse fazioni: è vero che sono in corso colloqui per riunificare i due movimenti? L’anno scorso dieci fazioni dell’Slm si sono riunite in un solo gruppo, sotto la guida di Ahmed Abdel-Shafi. Restano fuori ancora l’Slm-Unità e la fazione facente capo a Abdel Wahid Mohammed al-Nur. Al momento non è in programma una riunificazione.Non crede che questo frazionarsi in mille gruppi possa danneggiare la credibilità del movimento ribelle? Alcuni cominciano a percepirvi come delle bande di criminali che combattono solo per calcolo personale.Dietro questo processo ci sono le mani lunghe dell’Unione Africana e del governo sudanese. La prima, dopo i colloqui di pace di Abuja del 2006 (firmati solo da una fazione dell’Slm, ndr), ha fatto pressione su vari comandanti militari perché accettassero gli accordi. Il governo ha fatto la stessa cosa, conquistando comandanti e divisioni ribelli con la promessa di soldi o di incarichi per indebolirci. In parte ci sono riusciti, ma il movimento è ancora vivo.LEGGI ANCHE: Liberi gli ostaggi dell’aereo dirottato a Khartoum

Made in China: Stop Arms Sales to Sudan

Made in China: Stop Arms Sales to Sudan

Stop Arms From China to Sudan
The Summer Olympic Games in Beijing on August 8th give China the opportunity to showcase its accomplishments and its rising global power. China is also working hard to manufacture an image as a responsible and harmonious global actor. But behind this façade lies another China, one that places economic growth over its human rights responsibilities around the world.

Since 2003, the government of Sudan has orchestrated a campaign of terror in Darfur, leaving more than 200,000 people dead and at least 2.5 million homeless. During this period, China has largely ignored the mass atrocities in Darfur and instead strengthened its political, economic, and military relationship with the government of Sudan. The primary reason is simple: China desperately needs Sudanese crude oil to sustain its economic growth at home. But the relationship between China and Sudan does not stop with oil sales. China is currently the largest known provider of small arms, small arms parts, and ammunition to Sudan-the type of weapons that have been used by agents of the Sudanese government to wreak havoc in Darfur.

In the lead up to the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, Human Rights First has launched the "Made in China" campaign. With your help, we will pressure China to stop its arms sales to Sudan.

Bandit raids cut Darfur food aid

Bandit raids cut Darfur food aid

The UN peacekeeping mission in Darfur remains understrength
Food aid deliveries to Sudan's Darfur region have been reduced by 50% after a series of bandit attacks on convoys, the UN's food agency has warned.

In the latest incident, seven trucks were stolen and their drivers abducted last week as they drove to Fasher, the World Food Programme says.

WFP says 37 trucks and 23 drivers are still missing and other drivers are unwilling to risk going to Darfur.

Some two million people rely on food aid as a result of the conflict.

The WFP also warns it could halt its Humanitarian Air Service which transports aid workers around the vast country at the end of this month because of a lack of funding.

"This is an unprecedented situation," said WFP representative in Sudan Kenro Oshidari.

"Our humanitarian air operation for aid workers could be forced to stop flying because we have no money, at a time when our helicopters and aircraft are needed more than ever because of high insecurity on the roads."

Inaccessible

WFP does not say who is behind the attacks in Darfur - there are numerous rebel groups and pro-government militia in the region.

Some 8,000 people a month use WFP flights in Darfur - 3,000 in helicopters to reach parts of the country which are otherwise inaccessible, the UN agency says.

Aid agency Oxfam has warned that its operation in Darfur would be at "serious risk" if the WFP flights stopped or were reduced.

WFP also operates flights around South Sudan, which is slowly recovering from its own long conflict and where infrastructure is even worse than in Darfur.

Here too, a massive aid operation to help millions of people affected by the war would be badly affected if flights were stopped.

Fighting has increased recently in West Darfur, leading to a new stream of refugees.

The joint UN-African Union peacekeeping force is making little progress - it still has just 9,000 troops out of the 26,000 planned.

The humanitarian crisis in Greater Darfur, Sudan

The humanitarian crisis in Darfur – one of the poorest regions of Sudan - has become the worst in the world since hostilities broke out in February 2003, according to the UN. The situation is still extremely worrying and most experts warn that it could deteriorate further. It is estimated that between 180,000 and 300,000 people have died as a result of this conflict. About 2,5 million people are affected by the crisis, which is more than a third of the total population of Darfur. 1,8 million people have been displaced inside Darfur, and more than 200,000 people have fled across the border into Chad. Serious violations of human rights have been reported by the UN and human rights organisations.

Relief organisations are still facing problems reaching people in need, due to insecurity, poor road infrastructure, the size of the territory affected (roughly equivalent to France), and the ongoing rainy season. Therefore, according to the United Nations, needs in most sectors (food, shelter, clean water, primary health care) are only being partially met.

The European Commission has urged the Government of Sudan to abide by its obligations regarding the protection of its own citizens. This includes actively disarming and prosecuting armed groups acting against civilians. The EC has also provided funds to organisations with an international mandate to protect vulnerable civilians. Following a ceasefire agreement between government and rebel forces in April 2004, the Commission agreed to provide €92 million to support African Union peace keeping efforts.

ECHO's response so far targets conflict-affected people in the Darfur region and refugees who have fled to
