A leader of the Salamat tribe has urged the Sudanese authorities to hold the instigators of the feuds between the Salamat and Misseriya accountable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have called on the Minister of Interior Affairs to restore the rule of law, arrest those involved in the wars between the Misseriya and Salamat, and bring them to trial,\u201d Salamat Omda Jibril Hassan Adam Abdallah told Radio Dabanga on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government should consider the reconciliation between all warring tribes in Darfur an utmost priority,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

The omda stressed the Salamat\u2019s commitment to the principle of reconciliation as \u201ca fair and comprehensive solution.\u201d He affirmed that the current situation in South Darfur is peaceful. \u201cSince one and a half year no irregularities occurred. There are still many Salamat families, however, who do not dare to return to their homes.\u201d<\/p>\n

He appealed to the Salamat and Misseriya native administration leaders in Central Darfur to \u201cfollow their brothers in South Darfur, and respect the peace agreement\u201d.<\/p>\n
