World Council of Churches - News Release Contact: + 41 22 791 6153 +41 79 507 6363 media@wcc-coe.org For immediate release: 19 May 2004 WCC urges Sudan government to end hostilities and human rights violations in Darfur Rev. Dr Samuel Kobia, World Council of Churches (WCC) general secretary, commented today on the situation in Sudan's Darfur region: "We have urged the president of Sudan to work for an immediate end to hostilities and to take steps to resolve the conflict through a negotiated settlement so that much needed humanitarian relief is able to reach those in desperate need of such assistance. "We also urged the president to take steps to put an end to human rights violations in the region and to ensure that those guilty of committing acts of violence and human rights abuses are brought to justice." The WCC appeal to the president of the Republic of Sudan, Lieutenant-General Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir, was made in a letter sent on 7 May, 2004. The 14-month-old conflict in the Darfur region of western Sudan has been described as "one of the world's worst humanitarian crisis" by the United Nations World Food Programme executive director James Morris. As a result of the escalation of fighting between government forces and rebel groups, "over 700,000 Sudanese were internally displaced and another 110,000 were forced to cross the border into neighbouring Chad," Kobia explained. Action by Churches Together (ACT) International, a global alliance of churches and related agencies of which the WCC is founding member, on 15 March, 2004 issued an emergency appeal for about US$ 800,000 to assist some 30,000 victims of the conflict in the Southern and Western Darfur regions. Members of ACT International are supporting the ACT appeal financially.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA - AFRICAN STUDIES CENTER Sudan: Government Denies Rebel Gains in Blue Nile, 4/13/99 SUDAN: Government denies rebel gains in Blue Nile NAIROBI, 13 April (IRIN) - The Sudanese government on Tuesday denied claims by the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) that it had captured two garrison towns in Southern Blue Nile state and was in control of the Khartoum-Port Sudan road. Such claims were "part of the rebels' propaganda", an official at the Sudanese embassy in Nairobi, Mansour Al-Bolad, told IRIN. "No garrisons have been attacked," he said. "Government troops are undertaking routine military activities and patrolling the affected areas. But there is nothing serious." In a statement, the SPLA said its troops had killed 128 government soldiers and wounded 300 in the capture of Samaa West and Adrob garrisons last Thursday. However, Bolad said, "it is not possible for such a number of troops to have been killed considering that the areas in question are sparsely populated." He added that the rebels could be "cashing in" on the volatility of the region resulting from the Ethiopian-Eritrean war. He further allayed fears that Khartoum might not attend peace talks scheduled for 20-25 April in Nairobi, saying there was no official statement to indicate a change of heart.

Sudan Africa GOVERNMENT Sudan has an authoritarian government in which all effective political power is in the hands of President Omar Hassan al-Bashir. Bashir and his party have controlled the government since he led the military coup on June 30, 1989. From 1983 to 1997, the Sudan was divided into five regions in the north and three in the south, each headed by a military governor. After the April 6, 1985 military coup, regional assemblies were suspended. The RCC was abolished in 1996, and the ruling National Islamic Front changed its name to the National Congress Party. After 1997, the structure of regional administration was replaced by the creation of 26 states. The executives, cabinets, and senior-level state officials are appointed by the president, and their limited budgets are determined by and dispensed from Khartoum. The states, as a result, remain economically dependent upon the central government. Khartoum state, comprising the capital and outlying districts, is administered by a governor. In December 1999, a power struggle climaxed between President al-Bashir and then-speaker of parliament Hassan al-Turabi, who was the NIF founder and an Islamist ideologue. Al-Turabi was stripped of his posts in the ruling party and the government, parliament was disbanded, the constitution was suspended, and a state of national emergency was declared by presidential decree. Parliament resumed in February 2001 after the December 2000 presidential and parliamentary elections. National emergency laws remained in effect until July 6, 2005, when they were lifted for all provinces except Red Sea, Kassala, and Darfur. Al-Turabi was arrested in February 2001, and charged with being a threat to national security and the constitutional order for signing a memorandum of understanding with the SPLA. He was placed in a maximum security prison. Al-Turabi was released in 2003, then detained again in 2004, and released again on July 6, 2005.

Sudan cathedral razed in government attack Pension investments questioned SOLANGE DE SANTIS STAFF WRITER The Anglican cathedral in the Sudanese city of Lui was destroyed in a government aerial attack on December 29. Lui Bishop Bullen A. Dolli said the government launched the attack which destroyed Fraser Memorial Cathedral as part of its campaign against rebels in the southern part of the country. There was no word on deaths or injuries at the Anglican cathedral. "Three days earlier, on Dec. 26, a government of Sudan plane had also bombed Lui, causing destruction to life and property," said in the bishop in a statement that was disseminated by the London-based Anglican Communion News Service. Responding to the news, Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey said in a statement that "the destruction of a fine permanent church, prized by the local community, is a cause for concern by all those who love the troubled land of Sudan." Bishop Dolli, in his statement, appealed to "the international community, especially the Organization of African Unity and the United Nations Security Council to restrain the government of the Sudan from committing atrocities of genocidal proportions against the people of southern Sudan." Archbishop Carey noted that Sudanese Foreign Minister Mustafa Ismail has said the national air force will not be deterred by the Sudanese People Liberation Army (the chief rebel group) using civilians as a "human shield."

Shifting the blame SUDAN GOVERNMENT RESPONSE 'The government has been unable with its limited wealth and law enforcement resources to eliminate all instances of rural abductions and ransoms stemming from tribal conflicts. Human rights in war zones and areas outside government control are not fully respected...' - Mahdi lbrahim Mohamed, Sudan's Ambassador to the United States, August 1996 Top PRAGMATISTS AND HARDLINERS There are differing views within the government as to how to respond to the claims regarding slavery. A few individual members of the regime, notably from the minorities affected by slaving, have discreetly attempted to assist in the retrieval of captives and the elimination of the practice; pragmatists in the Ministry of External Relations realise, at the very least, that slavery is bad for Sudan's already tarnished international image. Members of the National Assembly's committee for human rights, including Angelo Beda, Fathi Khalil and an army officer, visited Southern Darfur in February 1996 to investigate reports of slavery. Top Local authorities in ad-Da'ein in Southern Darfur are understood to have ordered the release of dozens of Dinka children who had been brought to the town and outlying villages by the men who had captured them from around Aweil, in Bahr al-Ghazal region, in early 1996. The move is attributed to "international pressure".

Sudan Time and Date Sudan Government Back to Top Government: All administrator and legislative powers unconditional in Revolutionary Command Council for National Salvation (RCC-NS), fifteen-member body of military officers. RCC-NS chairman Lieutenant General Umar Hassan Ahmad al Bashir designated president of the republic and prime minister. RCC-NS appointed members of Council of Ministers, or cabinet, governors of states, and judges of courts. No plans for new elections announced as of mid-1991. Government's authority in southern one-third of Sudan limited to several towns in which military garrisons were based. Rest of south controlled by Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA). Administrative Divisions: In 1991 RCC-NS decreed division of Sudan into nine states. Each state further subseparated into provinces and local government areas or districts. Justice: Court system consisted of civil and special courts. Civil courts required to apply Islamic law, or sharia, but also permitted to consider customary law in reaching decisions. Apex of civil judicial system was High Court of Appeal. Lower courts consisted of state courts of appeal and at local level, major courts and magistrate's courts. Special courts, under military jurisdiction, dealt with offenses affecting national security or involving official corruption. Politics: Although RCC-NS banned all political parties in 1989, it tolerated political activity by National Islamic Front (NIF), a coalition controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood. All other parties persecuted, and their leaders had reorganized abroad or in southern areas outside government control. Opposition parties tended to be sectarian. Umma Party and Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) described Muslim constituencies in northern Sudan; Sudanese People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) drew support from predominantly non-Muslim and non-Arab population of south.

His inauguration came after President Omar al-Bashir signed a power-sharing constitution at a ceremony in the capital, Khartoum. Southern Sudan is to be given some autonomy and former rebels are due to take up cabinet seats next month. The US has welcomed the changes, but urged the government to resolve the separate conflict in the Darfur region. One-and-a-half million people died in the conflict between the mainly Muslim north and Christian south, which lasted 21 years. The new constitution is a key aspect of a peace deal agreed in January. As well as being named national vice-president, Mr Garang will head the autonomous administration in southern Sudan for six years, ahead of a referendum on possible secession. Political change United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan and South African President Thabo Mbeki were among world leaders watching Saturday's ceremony.

Some two million people are estimated to now live in camps, having fled their homes and at least 180,000 are thought to have died during the crisis. Sudan's government and the pro-government Arab militias are accused of war crimes against the region's black African population, although the UN has stopped short of terming it a genocide. How did the conflict start? The conflict began in the arid and impoverished region early in 2003 after a rebel group began attacking government targets, claiming that the region was being neglected by Khartoum. The rebels say the government is oppressing black Africans in favour of Arabs. There has been tension in Darfur, which means land of the Fur, for many years over land and grazing rights between the mostly nomadic Arabs and farmers from the Fur, Massaleet and Zagawa communities.

Center For Religious Freedom Aims to pressure the U.S. government to take peaceful steps to end slavery, to put a stop to the calculated starvation, and to stop the genoical bombing of villages, hospitals and refugee camps by sudan's radical Islamic regime.

About the Sudan Campaign Sudan is not only a terrorist nation that has triggered United Nations and U.S. government sanctions, it is also a genocidal one. It is such persecution and brutality that led the U.S. House of Representatives to overwhelmingly adopt Resolution 75 on June 15, 1999, which finds that "the National Islamic Front government is deliberately and systematically committing genocide in southern Sudan, the Nuba Mountains, and the Ingressa Hills" The genocidal levels of religious persecution against southern Sudan have prompted public protests from prominent Christian leaders, such as Catholic Cardinal Bernard Law, the Episcopal House of Bishops, Rev. Chuck Colson, Rev. Franklyn Graham, Baptist leader Dr. Richard Land, Rev. Chuck Singleton, and Presbyterian minister D.James Kennedy. In November 2000, the U.S. Catholic Bishops' Conference issued a resolution on Sudan denouncing the regime's genocidal destruction. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom found in its May 1 2000 Report that Khartoum is the "world's most violent abuser of the right to freedom of religious belief." In the fall of 2000 the U.S. Holocaust Memorial's Committee of Conscience made Sudan the focus of its first non-European project.

CAIRO, Egypt (Reuters) Sudanese forces and pro-government militia have burned several villages and killed more than 175 civilians in West Sudan in recent attacks during an ongoing government offensive, a rebel official said on Sunday. Abdel Wahed Mohamed Ahmed al-Nur, chairman of the rebel Sudan Liberation Army (SLA), one of two main rebel groups in the area, also told Reuters his group had killed about 700 government troops and militia. Fighting in Darfur, which first erupted in February 2003, has surged in recent weeks. Government officials could not be reached for comment on the latest attacks and independent verification is difficult to obtain. Western Sudan has long been prone to tensions between Arab nomads and African farmers over water and grazing, but the conflict has recently taken on a more military dimension.
