‘The displaced people are ready to enter into negotiations in order to ensure that their issues are addressed…’ – Salih Eisa<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Salih Eisa, the director of the General Administration for the camps for the displaced in Darfur, announced that “the displaced people are ready to enter into negotiations in order to ensure that their issues are addressed”. He demanded that the negotiation platform “be moved inward so that everyone can participate in the peace process”.<\/p>\n

Eisa added that what was done in Darfur by the deposed Al Bashir regime only created “partial peace”, because it did not include the issues of the displaced.<\/p>\n

The displaced are the owners of the issue and not the stakeholders, he concluded.<\/p>\n
