Security situation in Darfur unpredictable: UN-AU joint representative (2)

CHALLENGES AHEAD

"Within this context, we are challenged to work to protect the civilian population and to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance and also to endeavor to bring about a comprehensive and inclusive peace," Ibn Chambas noted, adding "There has been a review of the uniform personnel and the number of troops have been reduced, but we shall endeavor to be more effective and more efficient. That poses a challenge."

The Sudanese government and the Liberation and Justice Movement (LJM) on July 4, 2011 signed the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur (DDPD) after around two years and a half of negotiations that were hosted by Qatar via a joint initiative by the UN and the African Union.

The DDPD addresses issues relating to power and wealth sharing, human rights, return of refugees and IDPs, compensation, justice, permanent cease-fire, security arrangements, implementation mechanisms, etc.

However, some major Darfur armed movements, including the Darfur rebel Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), led by Jibril Ibrahim, the Sudan Liberation Army ( SLA)/Abdul-Wahid Mohamed Nur faction and the SLA/Minni Minawi faction, have rejected to sign the document claiming that it was partial and does not fulfill the demands of the Darfur people.
