Really then yours we meet with global news makers and tweek about the stories that matter just 0. I am josh rushing filling in for me ok and you are in the story after 17 years of war what are the prospects for peace in darfur well look at the ongoing sudanese peace talks you can join this conversation live in our youtube chat. Darfor is all but disappeared from International Headlines but for the past 17 years the conflict in western sudan has waged on since the overthrow of sudans former president Omar Al Bashir 2019 the Transitional Council that now governs khartoum has been eager to make peace with rebel groups across the country so far talk said mr original deadline but continue would some success just last week the government agreed to allow al bashir to face trial for crimes allegedly committed in dar for since 2003 fighting between rebels and Government Back we militia have killed 300000 displaced 2500000 people alba sure currently faces charges from the i. C. C. That include genocide war crimes and crimes against humanity today will look at the prospects for peace in darfur or with us a talk about this aljazeera correspondent who morgan who is in juba where the talks are taking place in khartoum would want joad Vice President of the sudan of the future campaign and in Houston Texas sudanese activists he had well welcome everyone but it begin with i think you know therefore was a bit of a celebrity issue in the u. S. For a while there maybe 10 years or more what happened since then we havent heard much about it. Yes indeed josh dar for has disappeared from the headline in the last recent years but the conflict there is far from over now weve been to north star 4 and south are for just a little less than 2 weeks ago and there are still people or its based in camps there are still people who say that they worry that they can not go back home even with the peace talks going on here in south sudanese but theyre saying that they feel like these talks is not related to them because nobody has come down and sat down with them to consult them on what they need whats their idea of security whats their idea of justice whats there and you know ending the conflict for good still you know we still see waves of violence or rather upwards of violence im just really genuinely december and there were over 200 people who were displaced and i still believe in going to this insanity and sold thousands go into neighboring chad so the conflict in darfur while it is not in the headlines as much as used to be in the us it is still very much. More whats appealing there and card to what theyre saying and dark or there today with old necessarily represented at the talks is there any more optimism in the capital. Just for having me and i just had leg really what morgan just said i came back from there for 2 weeks ago and i can tell you there is a lot of disappointment is still there its only a little hole about the Transitional Government there for people and from there for to they feel like they have been neglected their issues are not even being talked about there is no security i visited. South tower it is one of the largest refugee camps for people are still suffering they dont even feel you know that we have volution now when we went out on the streets we were talking about freedom peace and justice we have a lot of freedom now and this you cant tar. But we have not peace is special and are for the obama and the blue and i we have not just this that is what people feel and they have on that little hole and you mentioned the blue nile there are now some talks going on the blue nile khartoum i havent heard much about the Nuba Mountains but he have i want to go to you is this part or these talks are they part of kind of the a Unity Movement post basheer what was the purpose of the talks now. Thank you for having me josh i mean these peace talks are good for the government pro prioritize that you know made a top priority before a lot of other problems because it in the collection she had in the previous regime when these marginalized regions you know whether. Its through tribal cant fix it. Conflicts or you know just neglect of health. And other resources infrastructure so i think these peace talks are very special for this government to be a priority and moving forward like. A blonde nation before they need to be more in can in contact with the people in darfur that are actually affected you know and. Under the lucian started a lot of the main means slogans of the revolution was freedom peace and justice and as the rest as the time went by. The slogans kind being implemented and center right to the capital again you know as much as we can fight as activists as people outside to broaden the movement and actually have to have these peace treaties reach the people in the form. That would make us happy the government happy and everybody in darfur. Firstly and foremost happy so. The book is sincere in juba oh you can clarify this for me who is actually representing the people of darfur or at the table why is there a disconnect between the people in darfur and whoever is representing them in these talks. Well. We have to be very fair that the people who are in the talks here are mostly to hear is off the record in france and members of their groups there are some windsurfers and steps and they are representative of refugees but you know we again are for and not for just 2 weeks ago and people are saying that you know it not been consulted that well in austin but with them being demands are with their issues of concerns are what it is its a peace deal signed what is it that they want to ensure that the one thing that i heard from some people when we were talking to them in that space and cast and walked off or was that you know if anything happens and putting them on the president right those people on the streets i wouldnt somebody has been killed in a big lot in the streets and that massacre happened on june 16th at the sit in front of the experts as people took to the streets by the dozens by b. Thousands actually but theyre saying that you know the killings have been in there for many years and nobody can offer them so with. One sentence that stuck to me was one of them saying are we not part of sudan we are part of them and so is this disconnect between the capital khartoum and those in power and the people and thats thats the biggest clinic there is then theres the rebel movements with ice and there is this war for 17 years and the people there are saying that again you know theyre just Collateral Damage the hundreds of thousands. They see themselves damaged because we havent seen inside of the source of either homes so so they feel like nobody was actually with them in the camps can represent them because they havent gone through what they have on what the possums names you know bringing up to what happened last year with the overthrow of share and the massacre that happened what june 3rd and the streets there with the Rapid Support forces opened up live fire on the protesters killing over 100. 00. 118 was a number that i saw with those Rapid Support forces those are what we used to call a general we militia right. And they fall under control of the tenet general Mohammad Condon we can go to my computer ill show you here New York Times has a profile of him says sudan ousted a brutal dictator his successor was his and force or so hes known as have many which is not its called the protector right what this is for but hes the guy whos actually in charge of the our s. F. Which are this is the same unit that opened fire on the protestors in khartoum and are attacking the villages in darfur so we want to ask you is it a bit like the who said new boss is the same as the old boss can anyone trust the Transitional Government if right hand man in a border is now one of the leaders on it. You know im for 7 nobody trusts the Transitional Government and that includes. Civilian part of this government because that for people they havent seen genuine and practical steps towards peace or to ourselves in issues that matter as the people are dying for. Everybody knows him mad as the. Leader of the gang and now they generate began. And they are the army of the state actually theyre even a stronger and more powerful than the sudanese. Force itself. You know but the people of darfur the just to be honest here they do have a problem with committee but they have more problems with the system that have pounded him mickey and supported him to kill his on the air for ease because him at himself he is from there for 2 people to look at. The real criminal look at elba sure and the whole system is just. You know i saw brock so the problem is that with him it himself but with the system that created him at the and it is very provocative to see him at Dan Brown Baath leave the Transitional Government. So theres not trust here even just to talk about the issue of. You know all the criminals including al bashir himself who should be handed over to the i. C. C. And hes wanted for crimes against humanity or for committing genocide but bashir is still being child on very minor issues like corruption and these kind of things are it is it is very provocative for all the victims people believe that. Were not going to see any justice were not going to see any peace if there are real criminals are still straight well ok. Ill just point out a story right now on the air from the independent that says its like bashir is still here inside war ravaged our forward deadly violence is killing the revolution so lets take that off i just said that tweet out for anyone whos watching check that article out right after the sale im sorry it was you who were just jumping in there. Yes there is something that would run just said you know about the fact that people in power for dont believe that you know they did they have an issue with the system back created the deputy. President of the summer or the deputy head of the Sovereign Council and thats i bet you know its like the International Criminal court would be better trying to better suited to try them or for the work crimes and for that much of where crimes. Now up for us to be accurate but there has been a mission set up by the prosecutor in that in general that is looking into those were times but in this issue of hanging over a former president bashir and those who have been indicted alongside with him or for the one terms of 51 and also there has been a dispute what exactly in the Transitional Government meant when they said no issue well here in front of the i. C. C. You know initially it was just me and the over that is something we heard from the. Government spokesperson saying that we have discussed this before this round of talks and was only going one inch it was thought it but right after that statement you know weve seen the head of the Supreme Council and when it was effectively a matter of cheap people calling by the mystical on its axis of evil wanted to discuss this and theyre saying that no were not going to hand him over were going to try and of and that is one of the biggest issues that people in south for are facing which they show the Transitional Justice or justice as a all they feel like the system is not qualified and is not ready to serve them that just is that is an os for 17 years now well lets bring in some voices from people who are in the displacement camp and call ma this is what they say about bashir being tried. Shot a mother out in the mosque about we felt relieved when bashir fell. But now we will feel better when all the people agree to handle the pasha to the i. C. C. This is one of the primary demands i deny. Him of my table when the son of the high the handing over of bashir is a victory for the victims a victory for all of the sudanese people and in the name and a warning for any other person to not repeat the same actually i mean what i meant is that he had does it make a difference of bashir is tried in sudan or at the i. C. C. I think that the sudanese people a lot of people want to see the ship tried diets you know that was. Something that everybody was rooting for for the longest time but when the country though i think the. But a system in sudan is being placed and the progress of this Transitional Government has been going to shift to the i. C. C. But not send a clear message to the International Community on the progression but also i think the Transitional Government has mentioned that if and bashir does not get over to the hug there could be i. C. C. Representatives come. In. Today or in the court within the region i think to the people of sudan they want to see him but you know theres not a lot of trust with you to ridicule system d. People dont think there and bashir will be tried tried fairly. In sudanese soil that sounds very wrong message to sidneys people and i think when the bashir has tried to sit down with the same crimes that he was tried with the i. C. C. That would send a strong message but would that happen thats very questionable and i bet id like to have that in the senate and even brought amps was one thing they spared from people in dark or is that you know we want to see the i. C. C. As a great the victims because not for the system because thats the great and to me to this is inflated and the system but sometimes so basically they didnt think the whole system is flawed and trying to make reforms with Transitional Government is just 6 months old you know and and even they say that for us to be the complete overhaul improve on that with an ox or enough people rather people. Will take some time and people say you know again people and our whore and what they feel about whether the president should be tried in the us or even should be 5 of its own like some people are saying and they say that thats a reflection of you know the disparity that its connected between cuts all and the people who have suffered from on the one stop the war are saying that because you know constant travelling and there when the rounds of big drop in their villages were being burnt and they were displaced they think that its big and wait on the issue of justice so even if we followed up on 6 months that its going to museums and states in the years it will come to her well thats a big leap and it wasnt our for say that but already been living it for 17 years and it dont have that kind of patients anymore thats why theyve been back in to see the former president handed over because they see that theyve been in waiting for too long and any further weight is just a waste of their time and about i want to share a couple of down ideas from some of the people in khartoum the last sound bites were were actually from the call ma displacement camp but these are a couple from the streets of khartoum about whether bashir should be handed over or not. I dont want to give myself you want i agree with handing him over for him to become an example to others because he destroyed sudan he didnt do anything for it and he stole our money i asked people to organize other demonstrations to pressure to hand over to the criminal court and for him to be punished to set an example to others. As long as there is a law in the judiciary he must be held accountable inside sudan if he goes abroad foreigners can take advantage of him we do not know foreigners and do not trust them i see that the law should be fair and just he should be tried inside sudan because our customs traditions and values do not allow us to hand over a dog from sudan to the outside of them but you know if you check out our youtube live event theres tons of comments coming in right now and im looking at one from mandate and throw the says i. C. C. Is not trustworthy he can be in custody until the system is ready to take his case is the traditional system or one at this point is the traditional system couldnt handle a case like omar bashir. At the moment no and clear not liking r. And you know because the system is still exist the. Minister of justice for example that that must have been he is an amazing person Everybody Knows and hes been working hard to fix the judiciary system in sudan. But the thing is theyre like just so many things and its very complicated like even for me i cannot trust that bashir will remain in the prison for let us say to yourself that he areas and nobody knows if hes going to escape nobody knows if you know or hes going to hop in is still some people even dont believe that he is in prison saw but even if the system is good i think sudan should. Hand over al bashir to the i. C. C. Because we should respect the International Laws and theyre part of. The card and i think it will do a lot of healing the victims who have suffered far from vicious dictatorship i want to give props you know its not even a question of if you would allow me just something you know of course that part of ones point here are you know i would allow strong with them bashir i mean he was sent to set a Rehabilitation Center and i could get prison sort anyone even tried fairly for those charges of corruption you know and they let a lot of things slide when it came to where the money actually came from. A lot of ones point i think we need to risk so the people 1st and foremost the people that were affected mainly by bashir. Were criminal friends. From there and take it on to the next step see what actually works. With the International Community to trial bashir. Have a key tell us what is life and light and dark for right now and what they hope to gain from these talks. Probably when we went there you know weve. Known each other for and solved our 4 weve seen it i would say its stability in the capitals but you know once you drive outside you can see the little images where you can definitely see that in the impact of the 17 years of operative no many of them just dont have schools many villages towns how
