Revolutionary Forces Front withdraws from talks with government

A small Darfuri rebel faction announced it will not continue to negotiate peace with the government at the forum in Doha, Qatar. The movement’s leader Ibrahim al-Zubaidi said that he has come to believe that the mediators of the talks are not neutral. The United Revolutionary Forces Front is a small, primarily Arab rebel group that until July 2008 had coalition ties with Bahar Idriss Abu Garda’s similarly named United Resistance Front. It later participated in unity efforts at Addis Ababa and Tripoli in 2009. Those two conferences resulted in the formation of the so-called Tripoli and Addis Ababa groups, which became the two main components of the umbrella coalition at Doha, the Liberation and Justice Movement.
