August 10, 2009 (PARIS) — The founder leader of the rebel Sudan Liberation Movement, Abdel-Wahid Al-Nur denied reports about a meeting to reunite the different SLM factions in the Ethiopian capital next week.
The Hague based Radio Dabanga reported today that the different groups of the rebel movement SLM-Al-Nur, SLM-Abdel Shafei, SLM Khamis Abarak, and SLM-Unity of Abdallah Yahiya would meet in Addis Ababa on August 18.
The radio further aid the meeting is sponsor by the US President Envoy to Sudan Scott Gration.
Asked about the meeting Al-Nur told Sudan Tribune they are not aware about such meeting and nobody invited his movement to attend it.
The rebel leader who rejects to take part in Doha talks before the return of Darfur displaced population to their homeland had declined similar initiatives in the past saying a real reunification should be undertaken by the concerned parties without external intervention.
“We would not take part in such project even if it does exist” Al-Nur further said.
The US envoy who travels regularly to Sudan involving himself in talks with the Sudanese officials, rebels, IDPs, and neighboring countries, is seen by the rebels and the displaced population as more supportive to Khartoum government.
Hussein Abu Sharati, the IDPs spokesperson told Sudan Tribune that Gration is no more welcome in Darfur camps.
He added that the residents of the different camps are facing water and food shortage, lack of healthcare but the “US envoy turns blind eye to their miserable situation and speaks only about their return despite the shaky security situation and do not pressurize Khartoum to allow the return of expelled aid groups or the arrival or new one.”
