Darfur Independence Front/Darfur Independence Army (DIF/DIA) :: 2007-09-22
September 21, 2007 (PARIS) — A new rebel group said it is resolved to struggle for the independence of Sudan’s Darfur region as practical solution to end the suffering of Darfur people.
In a statement signed by Commander Idrees Ibrahim Azrag, the Darfur Independence Front/Darfur Independence Army (DIF/DIA) said that "the exercise of the Right to Self-Determination is the only route to a comprehensive solution to our problems."
CAIRO (Reuters) - Sudan is opposed to the unlimited extension of African Union (AU) peacekeeping troops in Darfur, a Sudanese official said on Monday
He was reacting to comments by the top U.N. envoy to Sudan who was reported as saying last week that Khartoum -- which has rejected the deployment of U.N. peacekeepers in Darfur -- might instead accept a prolonged and reinforced AU force.
Top UN officials say the world body must abandon efforts to pressure Sudan to accept UN peacekeepers in Darfur.
UN Sudan envoy Jan Pronk says the existing African Union force should instead be strengthened.
Sudan has always argued that the AU should remain in charge of peacekeeping in Darfur, rather than the UN.
Outgoing deputy secretary general Mark Malloch Brown has meanwhile said the US and UK's use of "megaphone diplomacy" is almost "counterproductive" in Sudan.
The cash-strapped and poorly equipped AU force currently stationed in Darfur was meant to leave at the end of the month but its mission was recently prolonged until the year's end.
