On Sunday, the members of Sudan’s National Dialogue passed the National Document containing the recommendations of the Dialogue committees. Sudan’s President Omar Al Bashir stated that the National Document “reflects the will of the people of Sudan”, and “will serve as a basis for the ruling of the country”. A recommendation, for example, stipulates the restriction <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=25b507651b&e=5ffa50b614> of the powers of the Sudanese intelligence service NISS. “There are no guarantees for the implementation of our recommendations, except the President's commitment,” PCP Political Bureau member Abubaker Abdelrazeg told Radio Dabanga in an interview on Thursday. He pointed to “the lack of national consensus about the refusal of a number of armed movements and political parties to participate. Khartoum [...] does not guarantee anything.” Meanwhile, the National Umma Party (NUP) Deputy Chairman Mariam Sadig El Mahdi said her opposition party is ready to consider the outcome of the National Dialogue under certain conditions. At a symposium on Monday she said it would be better for the government to accept the African Union Roadmap, however, which was signed by the opposition group Sudan Appeal. This roadmap has international guarantees and is supported by political parties, which is not the case for the National Dialogue, El Mahdi said.

If accurate, the reports suggest a more deliberate and wide-ranging campaign by Khartoum against its restive regions, the Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN) says in a report published last week. Medical officials in war-torn South Kordofan have seen symptoms consistent with chemical weapons exposure, stretching back over at least four years of armed conflict. Tom Catena, the only surgeon at the Mother of Mercy Hospital in Gidel, said the first incident <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=e5901b31c8&e=5ffa50b614> he observed of a possible chemical attack was in April 2012, during fighting in Talodi. 18 victims of a government air raid were taken to the hospital, where they reported seeing grey smoke from the bombing that turned white. Those exposed to the smoke suffered from symptoms that could be the result of exposure to insecticides and herbicides, or nerve agents, the surgeon mentioned. Amnesty International recently announced that at least 30 likely chemical attacks <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=b57466b387&e=5ffa50b614> have taken place in Darfur’s Jebel Marra since the beginning of this year.
