The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) led by Abdul Aziz al-Hilu has rejected what it calls the principle of fragmentation in the discussion of humanitarian issues in Sudan.
The movement clarified its position during the opening session of the delivery of humanitarian aid to those affected by the war in Sudan, in Juba, the capital of the Republic of South Sudan, between the Sudanese government and the movement.
The spokesman for the delegation of the movement Gatigo Ammoja Delman to the Aljazeera net that the delegation of the armed forces submitted 3 days ago a proposal for the delivery of humanitarian aid to 3 states are South Kordofan, West Kordofan and Blue Nile, and the cessation of hostilities.
Gatigo explained that the movement rejected the proposal because it rejects the principle of fragmentation in the discussion of humanitarian issues, and believes that the states of Sudan, including Khartoum, Jazira, Darfur, Kordofan, the Nuba Mountains, the Funj and all regions of Sudan are in urgent need of aid.
He explained that the SPLM’s position is that humanitarian aid should be delivered to all affected areas without ethnic, geographical or regional bias and that UN agencies should deliver this aid.
The movement’s secretary-general and head of the negotiating delegation, Ammar Amun Deldom, criticized in the opening session of the meeting the successive central governments in Sudan for adopting the principle of fragmentation of solutions to the same problem, noting that all previous agreements based on this principle “were not respected and therefore not implemented.”
At the same time, he stressed that the movement’s position has not changed on reaching an agreement that allows humanitarian aid to be delivered to those in need throughout the country without discrimination.
It is noteworthy that a member of the Sovereignty Council, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Army, Lieutenant General Shams al-Din Kabbashi, and the head of the SPLM-N, Abdul Aziz al-Hilu, agreed earlier this month to deliver humanitarian aid to those who deserve it inside the country.
According to Gatigo, a session is scheduled to be held on Friday to study the movement’s response, and if approved, there will be other parties within the agreement, explaining that many parties in the country are involved in the war and must be part of any agreement on aid.
According to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), 18 million people have been severely food insecure in Sudan since the start of the war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in April.
