Native administration leaders of the Rufa'a clans in eastern Sudan’s Sennar have called on the Sudanese government to work on an equitable distribution of power and wealth in the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We call on all warring parties in Sudan to make peace in a serious and positive dialogue, to spare the country more scourges of war,” Bakri Ahmed El Faki, the spokesman for the Rufa’a Nazara<\/em> (paramount tribal chiefs\/native administration leaders) told Radio Dabanga in an interview on Friday.<\/p>\n

He attributed the ongoing wars in the country to “the lack of justice and the uneven distribution of wealth and power, in particular the ownership of lands and hawakeer<\/em> (lands traditionally used by a clan or tribal group).<\/p>\n

“Disputes over land tenure rights are the main cause of the country’s crises, the wars in Darfur<\/a> and the rest of Sudan<\/a>,” El Faki said. He pointed to the recommendations of Sudan’s National Dialogue passed in October last year, “that called for the recognition of hawakeer<\/em> being the main challenge for ending the wars”.<\/p>\n

The Rufa’a spokesman urged Khartoum “to implement those decisions on the ground so as to achieve peace”.<\/p>\n

He explained that the Rufa'a clans who returned from South Sudan to Sennar after the secession of South Sudan in July 2011 are facing “the same kind of problems with hawakeer<\/em> and land tenure.<\/p>\n

“The government of Sennar state has not implemented a ministerial decree of 2013 concerning the land rights of the nomads among the returnees from South Sudan, the opening of tracks for pastoralists, and the provision of services to a large number of villages in the state,” El Faki said.<\/p>\n
