One of the major achievements of the draft deal that Darfur will be represented by a vice-president on the national level,&#8221; said Tadjadine Bechir Niam, LJM top negotiator who regretted to to unveil some details of the agreement before its signing.<\/p>\n<p>Niam said that two billion USD are allocated for Darfur reconstruction and development , denying allegations that the draft agreement assigned only 150 million dollars for the Darfur Reconstruction And Development Fund (DRDF).<\/p>\n<p>Gibreel in his statements said that Abuja agreement of 2006 allotted 700 million dollar while the draft of peace accords proposed only 150 million dollars for the DRDF.<\/p>\n<p>The Sudanese parties also agreed for the first time during the Doha talks on the principles of individual compensations, a matter that Khartoum refused to admit during the Abuja negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>On the disputed power sharing file, Niam disclosed that the proposed peace agreement establishes a regional authority composed of executive and legislative organs with their specific competences in the areas of peace implementation, economic development, land planning and human rights.<\/p>\n<p>The current regional authority established in 2007, in accordance of Darfur Peace Agreement, is tasked with the implementation of Abuja agreement and is considered as means to boost the cooperation between the state governments in North, South and west Darfur.<\/p>\n<p>On the security arrangements and particularly the integration of the rebel fighters in the Sudanese army, the LJM top negotiator stressed that the proposed agreement does not endorse he norm followed by the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) in the enrollment of the would-be-former rebels.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We all know this is an exceptional situation implying the adoption of special measures in this regard. So, the draft (of the peace agreement) even provides that a number of former combatants will occupy high positions in the commandment of the army and police,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Becoming an officer in the SAF requires special qualifications and training that most of the rebel commanders did not follow.<\/p>\n<p>The integration of the SLM combatants in the Sudanese army was one of the cause the led Minni Minnawi to denounce the 2006 Abuja peace pact. The former presidential assistant who turned rebel again in December 2010, accused Khartoum of refusing to integrate his commanders at the level of SAF higher commandment.<\/p>\n<p>Niam said the agreement proposed by the mediation organizes the disbarment and disbandment of the government militias immediately after the signing of the peace agreement in order to create a favourable conditions for the settlement of the eight year conflict.<\/p>\n<p>The Sudanese government last December rejected proposals to establish a regional authority or to appoint a vice-president from Darfur.<\/p>\n<p>Presidential adviser in charge of Darfur file Ghazi Salah Al-Deen said determined to hold another process in Darfur between tribal leaders, civil society groups and elected organs to bring peace in the region.<\/p>\n<p>The mediation will hold a Darfur stakeholders conference on 18 May to debate and endorse the draft peace agreement. The mediator Djibril Bassol\u00e9, said he will be in Doha next week to bridge the difference between the government and the rebel groups before the general conference.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/6f169cb6ntribune180.png-150x30.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>More:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201105010013.html\" title=\"Sudan: Darfur Rebel Group Backs Draft Peace Deal\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sudan: Darfur Rebel Group Backs Draft Peace Deal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> 30 April 2011 Doha \u2014 A Darfur rebel group, Liberation and Equality Movement (LJM) defended the draft peace agreement negotiated with the Sudanese government in Doha describing it as reasonable agreement bringing a acceptable solutions to a wide range of disputed issues.
