Report \u2013 Musab Mohamed Ali<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fawzi Hassan, political adviser to the Governor of Darfur Region, Minni Arko Minawi, has dismissed what he described as \u201crumors and speculation\u201d regarding the reasons behind Minawi\u2019s recent trip abroad. He stressed that the visit was carried out under an official mandate and is part of humanitarian efforts related to the deteriorating situation in the region.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Istiqsa\u2019i, Hassan said:
\n\u201cMinawi is on an administrative mission outside Sudan, officially tasked and approved by the country\u2019s leadership. The visit includes meetings with international actors to explore ways of alleviating the humanitarian suffering in Darfur.\u201d<\/p>\n

He confirmed that Minawi will return as soon as the mission is complete, categorically denying claims that he intends to ally with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) or that he visited organizations linked to prohibited weapons.<\/p>\n

Call to Avoid Internal Fighting in Darfur<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a related context, Hassan renewed his appeal to the people of Darfur to avoid being drawn into internal conflict, warning of \u201cparties seeking to ignite strife in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSome remnants of the former regime and elements of an ethnicist current are clearly using social media to fuel internal conflict, continuing to incite violence with the aim of dismantling Darfur\u2019s social fabric,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that \u201cany reasonable person rejects war and wishes for it to end,\u201d but added that \u201cending the conflict can only be achieved under the army\u2019s conditions\u2014chief among them ensuring the militia does not return to its previous status,\u201d in reference to the RSF.<\/p>\n

Dismissing Reports of Internal Disputes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Responding to reports of internal rifts between Minawi\u2019s Sudan Liberation Movement and other armed movements or civilian groups, Hassan said:
\n\u201cI only heard about these alleged disputes from your question,\u201d stressing that such claims in the media lack accurate information.<\/p>\n

He also denied rumors that leaders in eastern Sudan or other figures, such as Mohamed Bashir Tambour, had called for Minawi\u2019s arrest. \u201cTambour personally bid Minawi farewell before his departure,\u201d Hassan noted, adding that entrusting Tambour with the region\u2019s administration during the governor\u2019s absence is a standard administrative procedure, previously applied with other officials like Bashir Marsal in South Darfur.<\/p>\n

Transparency and Controversy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Addressing frequent controversy over Minawi\u2019s public statements, Hassan said:
\n\u201cMinawi is straightforward in his positions and states facts as they are. This is why some perceive him as controversial. But transparency is the essence of success if we aim to build a strong state.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the movement\u2019s insistence on executive positions, Hassan explained:
\n\u201cOur presence in government stems from the Juba Peace Agreement. Calling for the appointment of ministers from within the movement is not a quest for power but a commitment to the agreement. Failure to comply would mean retreating from the deal, which is effectively the same as withdrawing from it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Road Ahead for Sudan<\/strong><\/p>\n

When asked about Sudan\u2019s future amid two rival governments claiming legitimacy, a divided population, and escalating hate speech, Hassan said:
\n\u201cI do not see separation as an option, nor do I believe the Sudanese people would accept it. The previous experience has proven this path a failure. Sudan will remain united.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that \u201cdespite the challenges, the armed forces remain the country\u2019s safety valve,\u201d stressing that \u201cthe militia government lacks any basis for legitimacy, enjoys neither popular nor international recognition, and has been rejected both domestically and abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
