Exiled Darfur rebel chief denies role in camp violence

The Sudan Liberation Movement leader Abdel Wahid Mohammed Nur denied that his movement had any connection whatsoever with the violent events last week in two camps in Darfur. He was responding to allegations by UN peacekeepers and government authorities. They stated that his supporters clashed with supporters of the Doha peace process. Abdel Wahid opposes the peace process and resists the involvement of camp leaders who have been invited to take on an advisory role at Doha. Abdel Wahid accused government authorities of planning to dismantle the camps by bringing weapons into them and spreading terror among the displaced. He told Radio Dabanga that the authorities are war criminals who are wanted for trial at The Hague and they should go to court to defend themselves in front of the judges. He further warned against attempts by the National Congress to infiltrate the camps.
