Initially scheduled for Tuesday 6 September the fight was delayed
twenty four hours because "we are keen to return during the daylight
our supporters want to get the opportunity to welcome our return in
Khartoum,” said the head of political committee and chief negotiator
Tadjadine Beshir Niam.
Tuesday’s fight was supposed to arrive during the night to Khartoum
and the LJM, which was mobilizing supporters in the capital, preferred
to postpone it.
Composed of 21 members, the advance delegation is led by LJM
vice-chairman, Ahmed Abdel Shafi, Niam as head of political committee,
Ahmed Fadul spokesperson of the former rebel group. The aircraft is to
arrive in Khartoum at 02:40 pm.
The team will remain in the capital for seven days for meeting with
the government officials to prepare the launch of the Doha peace
agreement they signed on 14 July before the return of their leader
Tijani El-Sissi who is currently in London.
Then they will tour five towns in Darfur including South Darfur
capital Nyala, North Darfur capital El-Fasher, West Darfur El-Geneina,
Zalengi and Al-Daein, the two last cities are to be declared capitals
of two new states that should be established soon with the Darfur
Transitional Authority.
A military delegation, headed by Bahr Idriss Abu Garda is already in
Darfur since last August.
The return of the rebel delegation coincides with the eruption of
fighting in the Blue Nile besides Southern Kordofan between the Sudan
Armed Forces (SAF) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North
(SPLM-North).
Fadul, LJM spokesperson, called on the army and SPLM to stop the
clashes and to engage internationally or regionally brokered talks to
resolve their dispute. He also urged to allow foreign and local aid
groups to work in the war-torn regions.
