The NMES :

 warns the Sudanese Government from Repeating the Darfur Scenario

In a press release, the General Secretary of the NMES, Mr. Tarik Ahmed Abubakr, expressed the NMES's welcoming of the Security Accord that has been signed between the Sudanese Government and the Front of East Sudan, though it has basic reservations against it.

"These reservations", the General Secretary continued, "are primarily connected with that the accord concerned had decided about some issues that the Front of East Sudan has not the sole right to decide about in her negotiations with the Sudanese Government, for there are other social and political powers in the East of The Sudan who are equally entitled to such right".

Mr. Abubakr warned, in this context, the Sudanese Government against repeating the same unwise policies that it has practiced in connection with the Darfur's crises, pointing out that such an act would re-produce a scenario in the East of The Sudan that would be tragically similar (or parallel) to that which is still being catastrophically performed in Darfur.  "The reproducing of such a scenario in the East", the NMES's General Secretary strongly emphasizes, "would, this time, not jeopardize only the future stability and peace of the region in question but rather that of the whole of the country, The Sudan".

Finally, Mr. Abubakr asserts that the opportunity for the Sudanese Government to include, in its negotiations about the question of the East of The Sudan, all of the other active Eastern Sudanese social and political powers is, however, still there, and that without such an inclusion it is, sadly, not very likely that a substantial and comprehensive solution for the chronic question of Eastern Sudan will be achieved.
