Immediate Janjawid disarming urged
|
The African Union has called on the Sudanese government to "immediately disarm" the pro-government Janjawid militias in Darfur region or face sanctions. This was disclosed by the deputy head of the AU Mission in Sudan (AMIS), Monique Mukaruliza, after a meeting of the Joint Ceasefire Commission on Darfur in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Friday. She said: "We understand from the report that was presented by the AMIS commander, the Sudanese government continues to arm the Janjawid."
The AU's Peace and Security Council and the UN Security Council would enforce the sanctions, a text agreed at the meeting stated. "The meeting decided that where violations had clearly been proven to have taken place, punitive measures including sanctions should be taken against the violators." The commission examined "15 confirmed and documented cases of ceasefire violations by signatories and non-signatories of the peace accords" in Abuja and "decided to punish the violators", the AU statement said.
