Al-Yurae – (Local media) – Governor Nimr Mohammed Abdul Rahman, who was concerned of the renewed battles. Round El-Fasir yesterday call its  Citizens to  “leave the areas in the circle of clashes between the warring parties to safe areas.” He said on his Facebook account: “We urge both parties to allow citizens to leave to preserve their lives,”  Nimr Abdul Rahman later reiterated that “despite the intentions , our efforts continue to avoid the state risk of destruction and devastation through continuous communication with the waring parties.”

The governor’s call was strongly criticized by the governor of the Darfur region, Minni Arko Minawi, who said he was in contact with all parties to avoid war in El Fasher, the region’s capital.

He said that El Fasher is overcrowded due to the large exodus from Nyala, Kutum, Tawila, Kabkabiya and other cities, including El Geneina, stressing that it is the only artery to feed all of Darfur, in addition to the camps that existed before this new displacement.

In an audio appeal, Minawi criticized the governor of North Darfur state, who calls on citizens to leave the city, and said that he was really unsuccessful, pointing out that they were not informed of the news of the attack, which confirms that he received from the rapid support. “We also did not seek the rapid support, although we have communicated with them on this matter,” he said.

Minawi offered “precious advice” for rapid support, while stressing that El Fasher is no better than the rest of Sudan’s cities, especially those in Darfur, which have suffered.

“You have to avoid attacking El Fasher and El Geneina, which are cities that host a citizen in every inch where there are displaced citizens or have received an undeserved punishment from killing and displacement, as long as negotiations are ongoing in Jeddah, you should focus on negotiating,” he said.
