We, the armed struggle movements, will support them in any case of self-defence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Darfur governor told Radio Dabanga that his call came in response to \u201cthe complete absence of the authorities while militants and bandits are wreaking havoc in the region, by attacking cities, plundering and torching of the houses and offices, and violently robbing the people of their property\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He pointed to the burning down of the main markets of Zalingei, El Geneina, Nyala, the partial burning of the El Fasher Grand Market, in addition to the burning and plundering of the property of people and a number of organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Darfuri need to arm themselves for self-defence only,\u201d Minawi stated. \u201cMoreover, arming the people will reduce the scope of warfare.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said that they requested the US-Saudi Arabian facilitators of the seven-day ceasefire agreed on by the warring Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on May 20, to arrange for a monitoring mechanism in Darfur, \u201cbut they focused on Khartoum\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minawi, who is the head of a Sudan Liberation Movement breakaway faction, explained that the security forces of the rebel movements that signed the Juba Peace Agreement in October 2020, are limited in number and capabilities. \u201cThey are deployed along roads from Kosti to El Geneina, to secure the traffic, and in the capital cities of Darfur.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later on Sunday, the Office of the Governor of the Darfur Region issued a statement in which it explained the tweet by Minawi. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The governor called on the Darfuri to take up arms, because of \u201cthe precarious security situation in Darfur that already existed before this war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSince the outbreak of the war, three of the five capitals in Darfur have been plundered and attacked by armed robbers. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese violent incidents take place in the presence of the rebel movements, but because of political complexities in the country, and the large number of attacks, it is difficult to cover all areas and secure the roads.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The office of the Darfur governor concluded its statement by saying that they \u201cremain committed to neutrality and appeal on the SAF and the RSF to stop the war and start a direct dialogue that will lead to a comprehensive political solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"sws_supernormalaction\"><button on=\"tap:superwebshare-lightbox\" class=\"superwebshare_normal_button1 superwebshare-button-large superwebshare-button-square superwebshare_prompt superwebshare_button_svg\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color: #d52631;\" ><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"superwebshare-svg\"  fill=\"currentColor\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"0\"><path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M789.86,323.67c91.79,0,164.25-72.46,164.25-164.25S881.64,0,789.86,0S625.6,72.46,625.6,164.25c0,4.83,0,14.49,0,24.15L306.76,371.98c-24.15-24.15-57.97-33.82-96.62-33.82c-91.79,0-164.25,72.46-164.25,164.25s72.46,164.25,164.25,164.25c38.65,0,72.46-14.49,96.62-33.82L625.6,821.26c0,9.66,0,14.49,0,19.32c0,86.96,72.46,159.42,159.42,159.42s159.42-72.46,159.42-159.42s-67.63-159.42-154.59-159.42c-33.82,0-67.63,9.66-96.62,33.82L374.4,526.57c0-9.66,0-19.32,0-24.15s0-14.49,0-24.15l318.84-188.41C717.39,314.01,751.21,323.67,789.86,323.67z\" \/><\/svg><span>Share article<\/span><\/button><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EL FASHER &#8211; Minni Minawi, the governor of Darfur, yesterday urged the people of Darfur&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[110,109,94,27,108,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20040883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-flash-posts","category-frontpage","category-headlines","category-news","category-news-headlines","category-violence"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
