JEM: GoS Uses Iraqi Mercenary Pilots to Bomb Darfur Civilians

Reliable intelligence from Khartoum and Alfashir informs that GoS has contracted 250 Iraqi pilots for its aerial bombardment in Darfur. Some of these pilots are now accommodated in the official guest house in Alfashir city. As it transpired now, the last two airplanes shot down by JEM in Elgeneina area were flown by Iraqi pilots.

The Khartoum Junta was forced to rely on mercenary pilots following loss of 16 fighter planes at the hands of JEM. Sudanese pilots became reluctant to undertake bombing missions while some had openly voiced their objection to bombing of innocent civilians.

Sudan has recently acquired unmanned planes currently being assembled in Nyala, capital of South Darfur. Furthermore, an Ilyushin plane was expected to leave Khartoum Military Airport for Alfashir, loaded with 300 rockets destined for use in Mig 29 bombers. The Ilyushin flight was scheduled for yesterday but was delayed due to fuel leakage.

JEM Meets Austrian Think-Tank Group
The Austrian Political Academy, a Think-Tank Group headed by Dr. Fasslabend, the Ex-Minister of Defence, had a meeting with Dr. Abdullahi El-Tom, Head of Bureau for Training and Strategic Planning of JEM, Aril 18th 2008. The invitation took place during El-Tom's academic visit to the University of Vienna, Austria.

It is to be noted that the Austrian Government and the Austrian people have been in the far front of helping Darfur during its current crisis. They have been involved in humanitarian assistance, diplomatic support and contribution to the EUFOR in Chad where they currently have 160 peace keepers.

The meeting explored numerous issues, most important of which are current situation in Darfur, peace talks prospects and the emergence of JEM as an indisputable force and key players in Darfur. Dr. El-Tom urged the Group to remain engaged in the search for peace in Darfur. He further asked the Group to encourage the Austrian government to take a leading role in coming peace talks.

JEM would like to thank the Austrian Political Academy for its initiative.

Former JEM General Banda loses his Army Vehicles to JEM: A Military Statement


JEM forces retrieved 6 army vehicles from Abdalla Banda's group in North Darfur, April 17th 2008. Abdalla Banda was sacked from JEM in July 2008 but continued to utilize JEM's cars until last week. JEM has now regained all its legitimately held armoured vehicles without loss of blood on either side. The action came in implementation of General Congress Resolution, October 2008.

In that General Congress, President of JEM issued amnesty for all ex-JEM members and urged them to come back to their mother organisation. In line of the General Congress Resolutions, JEM will not allow anybody to use its name in Darfur, let away drag it into banditry and disrepute. The Banda affair sends a strong message that unauthorised use of JEM's name or logo will not be tolerated.


Long live our struggle for Justice and Equality.

JEM: Another Decisive Victory and Downing of a Helicopter in Darfur


11/04/2008. JEM forces completely annihilated the newly established GoS Kushkush base, 45km, north of Geneina City and west of Jabal Moon. The battle which started at 4pm lasted for two hours was a clear rerun of Kariari defeat. Government soldiers/Janjaweed were flushed out of their trenches for surrender or death. A helicopter gunship was downed and another took a direct hit but its fate is not clear.

Kushkush is the main garrison that war trumpet Naife Ali Nifie hails as central to his plan to oust JEM as a Darfur and as regional force. Log live our struggle for justice and equality

JEM: A Statement on National Census in Sudan

28/03/2008: The Secretariat for Foreign Affairs and International Relations, JEM would like to declare JEM's outright rejection of the planned National Census and Elections scheduled for next year in Sudan.

1. Regime in Sudan is planning to use census and election to create a new demographic realty in accordance with its future strategies to survive and control the country.
2. The Regime has continued its policy of importing foreign elements into Darfur and is now planning to use the census as means whereby IDPs and refugees will be officially banished out of their areas.
3. JEM believes that no legitimate census or election can be undertaken without peace and that going on with these plans will breed more violence and retard future democratic transformation in Sudan.
4. With over 3 million IDPs and refugees and close to two thirds of Darfur's population outside Sudan, the government must realise that undertaking census and elections at this time is a futile venture. Neither meaningful census nor elections can be carried out in IDP/Refugee camps where freedom does not exist and faith in government staff does not prevail.
5. JEM appeals to all opposition parties and Sudanese people to oppose this Khartoum conspiracy and join JEM in opposing this planned census and election.

Long live our struggle for justice and equality

JEM: GoS Paints Tanks White in Imitation of UNAMID Colour: Urgent Military Statement


10/3/2008: JEM is in receipt of eye witness's accounts in Al-Fasher speaking of Sudanese armed forces actively engaged in painting nine (9) military tanks white in an apparent breach and violation of applicable norms of International Humanitarian law and agreements. The move is in parallel with huge military build up of troops arriving from Northern State (Shimalyia), and deployment of forces from Geneina in a bid to storm Jebel Moon in western Darfur.
UNAMID should be aware of GoS evil tactics and should condemn such behaviour.
JEM Vigilant forces are aware of the move and will not be taken by surprise.

Darfur rebel group decry statements by a UN official

(DARFUR) — A Darfur rebel group today denounced accusations made by a UN official about preventing aid workers from reaching areas impacted by recent fighting.

JEM spokesman Ahmed HusseinEarlier this week the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan Ameerah Haq accused Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) of denying aid workers entry into the Jebel Moon area of West Darfur.
"This morning we were supposed to have an assessment to go there but we were actually denied access by JEM and therefore we are calling on JEM to give us that access," she told the British Broadcasting Corporation in an interview.
“We refuse any allegations of that sort. They are simply baseless. JEM is and has always been committed to fulfilling its obligations under the Geneva Convention including protocol II relating to the Protection of Victims of Non-International Armed Conflicts” JEM spokesman Ahmed Hussein told Sudan Tribune.
Hussein said they have always provided assistance to the humanitarian organization working in the field.
“In West Darfur we protected their workers which in some cases led to casualties among us. We also helped them get the assets that got stolen from them. The ICRC knows and so does the MSF” he added.
Earlier this week JEM released a statement saying they have received no request from the UN to visit the area. The UN official said that civilians in the area are “trapped”.
The Sudanese military last month described the area — not far from El-Geneina, the capital of West Darfur state — as a "legitimate" military target.
“All civilians in the areas under our control know that we are adamant about protecting them and facilitating the work of aid workers. Haq can go and ask them. It is not us who deliberately damaged humanitarian offices in Darfur. She should condemn Khartoum” the JEM official said.
Hussein said that JEM has proactively sought to bring the aid workers to the Jebel Moon area.
“We urge all organizations to come to the area which is under our full control as soon as possible and assist the civilians. They can contact us immediately so we can arrange it” he said.
The UN refugee agency says 13,000 refugees fled into Chad from Darfur since the Sudanese army and its Janjaweed militia allies began heavy bombardments of rebel strongholds around the Jebel Moon area on February 8.
Witnesses told Reuters that government-allied militia and bombing raids had killed 114 people in a February 8 offensive on towns and villages in the West Darfur state. The army denies any link to the militia, known as the Janjaweed, and says many of those killed were rebels in civilian clothes.
International experts estimate 200,000 people have died in the conflict, which Washington calls genocide, a term European governments are reluctant to use. The Sudan government says 9,000 people have been killed.

JEM Mourns Loss of Slovenian President


2/3/08::JEM leadership is saddened to hear about recent loss of Dr. Janez Drnovsek, former President of Slovenia. Dr. Drnovsek spent his entire life working for peace, justice and equality. He was able to steer his people peacefully through the 1990s most turbulent history of his land. But his wisdom and humanity knew no bound and had gone much further than Slovenia and that is how we knew Dr. Drnovsek, a friend, a humanist, a democrat and an angel for peace.
The untimely loss of Dr. Drnovsek is a terrible blow to the beleaguered people of Darfur and their Liberation Movements. As a philanthropist, Dr Drnovsek raised substantial fund for Darfur refugees and IDPs. But life does not rotate about charity; and that is where we should learn from Dr. Brnovsek's philosophy. He maintained that global peace cannot be maintained amid poverty and that world harmony is contingent to equitable development that preserves dignity and honour of people everywhere. That is precisely what JEM is fighting for in Darfur and will continue the struggle until Dr. Drnovsek's prophesy is realised in Darfur, Sudan and hopefully beyond.

Dr. Drnovsek was not only a theorist. He was a man of action and had worked diligently to bring peace to Darfur. Unfortunately, his illness prevented him from staying on course, not to mention obstacles put on his way by certain national and international circles; circles that are adamant not see others succeed where they have failed.

While we offer our sincerely sympathy to Drnvosek's family, friends and the Slovenian people, we in JEM are certain that his spirit will remain a shining path for us in our struggle for freedom, justice and equality.
May he rest in peace and may the Lord receive him with kindness.

Amnesty International Risking Credibility
A statement from JEM

In a statement issued February 2008, Amnesty International (AI) made claims that JEM has been mistreating four captive government soldiers and others in its camps. The four war prisoners referred to by AI and currently held by JEM are:

1. Brigadier Kamalelddin Abdalla, captured in Haskeena. At the time, he was leading a mission to assassinate Dr. Ibrahim, President of JEM.

2. Lieutenant Colonel Ihab Jalal Eldin, a staunch extremist and a Muslim fundamentalist

3. Lieutenant Colonel Mahid Hamid, surrendered at Jujul battle, December 07

4. Lieutenant Abel Moneim Mohamed Zein, captured at Juljul battle, December 07.

In respond to AI allegations, JEM would like to state the following:
1. AI should have checked its information and not relied on one side and that is members of JEM splinter group which cannot be neutral. AI should act in a professional way and verify its information before making conclusions

2. JEM has never denied relevant bodies to visit its war prisoners in line with international conventions. In fact, JEM allowed Brigadier Abdalla and Lieutenant Jalal Eldin to be interviewed by El Gezira Network and has allowed all four prisoners to phone their families and assure them of their safety and good treatment. This is an aspect that JEM is proud of and ready to maintain.

3. AI's claim that JEM prisoners of war are shackled contradicts its report that three of them were able to escape detention, leading to their interview by AI.

4. AI's claim that JEM puts its war prisoners in a truck ahead of their attacking force is a bizarre accusation. Among others, it smacks of naïve knowledge of combat and poor investigative sense. JEM was involved in several combats where it lost fine soldiers in the process. The fact that none of JEM's war prisoners was killed makes a mockery of AI's allegations.

5. The allegation that JEM further mistreats its prisoners is not correct. JEM has no hotels or houses in the field. Its prisoners experience the same hardship that is faced by JEM soldiers. They all share the same food, water and shelter.

6. Finally, AI should have done its home work in a professional way before making such false allegations. JEM has institutions that can be contacted and has always been in the far front regarding International conventions and rights of war prisoners. The door is still open for AI and equally the Red Cross and all other relevant Human Rights organisation to visit JEM and meet its war prisoners.

Al- Bashir Loses His Third Military Helicopter in a Week

24/2/2008: Breakaway news from Western Darfur and Jebel Moon area tells of JEM forces shooting down a third Assault Military Helicopter belonging to GoS air forces. The plane received a direct hit from our long range ground-to-air missiles and was seen exploding in the area of Kondobay 15 miles north of El-Geneina. The fate of the pilots has not been established yet. A Sudanese military spokesperson confirmed that the plane came down in flames and was totally destroyed.
All day long there has been extensive exchange of artillery gun-fire in the western part of Jebel moon, betraying GoS claims that it has cleared the area of JEM forces.
Once again JEM warns the GoS that all its military build up will face the same fate inflicted upon its earlier adventures. For the safety of civilian flights, JEM advices Sudan Airways, AU, UN, NGOs as well as private commercial companies to avoid the area.

Urgent Military Communiqué

19/02/2008: JEM forces in Jebel Moon engaged three moving battalions belonging to Sudanese Government armed forces along with their proxy Janjaweeds attacking our strong hold in Western Darfur. The Assault on our forces took place earlier this morning the 19th February 2008 and was preceded with extensive aerial bombardment by Antanov and Mig 29 fighters supported by three military Helicopters. Our long ground-to- air missiles shot down two of the helicopters while the fixed winged aircrafts escaped. The aim of the attack was apparently to clear the area for the retreating Chadian rebels fleeing N'Djamena.

A major battle resulted in an outright defeat of the perpetrators with heavy losses in human and military equipments by the GoS. The counting still going on and accurate details will be released when full information is at hand.

JEM warns once again GoS and its Janjaweed allies that they will face the same fate if they are to repeat such adventure.

The international community is urged to take note of the incident and renew its effort to put an end to the escalation of military activities by GoS against innocent Darfur people.

09/02/2008: Details have been received regarding Sudan's army/janjaweed massacre near Geneina, yesterday, February 8th. As it transpired, Khartoum is now intent to empty the entire area of its population. Three towns have been gutted yesterday morning:

Our slogan: (Justice, Equality and Fraternity and Unity)
A Proposal for Change: Towards a Sudan of Justice and Equality
Compiled by Training and Planning Office, JEM 2005

A Proposal for Change: Towards a Sudan of Justice and Equality

Introduction:
The Sudanese Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) is a national organization open for all the marginalised Sudanese people.
JEM was launched in the mid 1990s as an alternative to all northern-based political parties. In 2003, and following intense government-led attacks on the indigenous people of Darfur, JEM re-launched itself as an armed Movement. Since then, JEM and in collaboration with the Sudan Liberation Movement of Darfur, has signed a number of Resolutions with the Government of Khartoum.
Following completion of a peace agreement with Khartoum government, JEM will transform itself into a full national political party and contribute to the reconstruction of the Sudan.
The Problem Stated:
In a nutshell, Sudan has been controlled by elites of the Northern Region throughout its independent history; that this control has remained the same irrespective of the nature of the government of the day. The hegemony of the Northern elites has prevailed through democratic, theocratic, socialist and military governments alike. The domination of the North that is reckoned to constitute only five percent of Sudan's population is so pervasive and has been maintained at a huge cost to the nation. The result is obvious: wars, famines, disease and poverty. JEM intends to correct just that.
The following is a summary of what JEM stands for:
General Objectives of JEM:
1. Eradication of economic, cultural and political marginalization of the majority of Sudanese, which has been a feature of Sudan's politics since its Independence in 1956.
2. Establishment of a just system based on democratic principles, rule of law, respect of human rights and accommodation of diversity of all Sudanese people.
3. Institution of constitutional reform that enables all regions of Sudan to rule themselves within a federal system under a united Sudan.
4. Improvement of standards of living for all people in the country and with equitable access to public services.
5. Initiation of sustainable socio-economic development that will span the whole nation.
6. Realization of the supremacy of the law and separation of powers in the country.
7. Establishment of a federal and democratic government of national unity.
8. Liberation of Sudanese citizens from poverty, disease, hunger and restoring their dignity and confidence.
9. Enabling all Sudanese citizens to participate effectively in the process of production, creativity and peaceful co-existence.
10. Encouragement and support of women, youth and other marginalised sectors to assume their full role in building a prosperous society.
11. Provision of care for the weakest members of the society including children, orphans, widowed, elderly, displaced...
12. Institution of friendly relations with the outside world guided by principles of mutual respect and promotion of common interests

Mechanisms:
Objectives shall be realised through the following means: 1. Political negotiations between JEM and Khartoum Government.
2. Waging war against the government of Khartoum with the aim of liberating the entire Sudan and in conjunction with other Movements that share JEM's objectives.
3. Mobilisation of all the marginalised people in the Sudan through media, conferences, rallies.. With the aim of isolating the Government of Khartoum, both internally and externally
4. Establishment of civic authorities in the liberated zones and provision of basic services and development work.
5. Provision and development of alternative policies for the interim period and drafting guidelines for division of power and wealth and for the definition of the new Sudanese identity.
6. Encouragement of all members of the Movement in the country to become exemplary models in the pursuit of revolutionary work in the Sudan.
7. Mobilisation of the members of the Government army to take side with their marginalised and dispossessed communities and to fight for overcoming the mentality of submission to the oppressive rule of the racist minority of Khartoum.
General Principles:
1. The Sudan shall remain a sovereign and united country.
2. The Sudan shall become a federation of six Regions: The Central Region, the Southern Region, the Northern Region, the Eastern Region, Kordofan Region, Darfur Region.
3. Khartoum shall maintain a special status as a Capital Zone during the interim period.
4. Country shall be ruled according to a new Federal and Democratic System.
5. Arabic and English shall become the official languages of the country while genuine. Indigenous languages will be promoted and officially recognized.
6. The country shall be obligated to protect Human Rights of all citizens.

مقترح للغييير: نحو سودان قوامُه العدل والمساواة
إعداد أمانة التخطيط الإستراتيجي والتدريب

حركة العدل والمساواة السودانية هي حركة قومية مفتوحة لكل المهمشين من أبناء الوطن. نشأت الحركة في التسعينات من القرن المنصرم كبديل للأحزاب السياسية الشمالية. وفي عام 2003م ، وكرد فعل مباشر للهجمات العسكرية المكثفة التي شنتها الحكومة على مواطني دارفورالعزل ، تحولت الحركة إلى حركة مسلحة لدفع الظلم و العدوان. منذ ذلك الأوان ، وبالتعاون مع حركة تحرير السودان ، توصلت الحركة إلى عدة إتفاقات مع حكومة الخرطوم. فور التوصل لإتفاق شامل مع الحكومة تتحول الحركة إلى حزب سياسي مساهمةً بذلك في عملية إعادة إعمار الوطن.
تحديد المشكلة:
بإختصار شديد ، دأبت نخبة قليلة من الإقليم الشمالي على إحتكار السلطة والثروة في السودان منذ إستقلاله في عام 1956م ، ودامت هذه السيطرة إبان جميع أشكال الأنظمة المتعاقبة ، فقد سادت هذه النخبة إبان الحكم الديمقراطي والثيوقراطي والإشتراكي والعسكري على حد سواء. إن هيمنة الإقليم الشمالي الذي يمثل 5 في المائة فقط من سكان السودان ضاربةٌ في الجذور وقد أمعنت النخبة في إستدامة هذا الوضع بتكاليف باهظة للوطن.
عهدت حركة العدل والمساواة نفسها لتصحيح هذا الوضع المأزوم. تقوم الحركة على الآتي ، بإختصار:
أهداف الحركة:
1- إزالة جميع أشكال التهميش ، الإقتصادية والثقافية والسياسية ، والتي هي السمة البارزة للسياسة السودانية منذ عام 1956م.

الآليات:
يتم تحقيق الأهداف المذكورة بالوسائل التالية:

Too painful to lose Chad Sudan's Defence Minister, 3rd February, 08



The Sudan Justice and Equality Movement (JEM)
www.sudanjem.com
info@sudanjem.com Albashir's Latest Military Gamble in Chad:
A Statement from JEM
1.03/02/2008: The Justice and Equality Movement in Darfur (JEM) denounces in the strongest term Albashir's latest military gamble to change the political system in Chad and impose a puppet government in N'Djamena, the capital of Chad. JEM is extremely concerned and equally saddened by the unnecessary death caused by Khartoum's intervention in internal Chadian affairs; an intervention that has to be seen in the light of desired good neighbourly relations, common ethnic relations and international conventions. In this regard, JEM states the following:
Despite its meagre resources, Chad has hosted a sizable number of refugees from Darfur who have been driven out of their homes by Khartoum Government (GoS) and its Janjaweed allies. The current instability is likely to aggravate this situation and lead to a new crisis of Chadian refugees in the area.
2. JEM is committed to good neighbourly relations and creation of environment that is conducive to peaceful border coexistence between Chadian and Sudanese people. This blatant intervention has now put this goal in serous jeopardy.
1. The current intervention in Chad has already set back plans to enable deployment of the UN-European Military force to protect Darfur refugees in Chad against continuous onslaught of Khartoum sponsored Janjaweed and Sudan so-called Popular Defence Force. This is regrettable and efforts have to be doubled in order to put the deployment on course.
2. The current Chadian crisis exposes GoS attitudes to mediation and regional agreements. At exactly the same time when the Libyan leader Ghadhafi was concluding a peace agreement between Khartoum and Chad, Abdel Rahim Hesain, Sudan's Minister for Defence, was plotting in El Gineina city, organising the current abortive invasion of Chad. Leader Ghadhafi should now contemplate his true weight in Khartoum government and the futility of taking Albashir for his words.
3. JEM reminds Albashir yet again, that Africa has to put an end to military piracy, coup culture and undemocratic change of political governments in the continent. JEM commends AU's condemnation of the rebel invasion of N'djamena. It equally wants to see AU joining all factions of the international community in condemning the blatant GoS backing of the invasion.
4. JEM would like to congratulate President Deby and the Chadian people in their decisive victory against the GoS and its mercenary backed invasion of Chad.
5. JEM affirms to GoS that Darfur problem cannot be addressed by changing governments in neighbouring countries. Darfur problem is political and can only be apprehended through peaceful and political negotiations among all stake holders.

Major Darfur Arab Movement Joins JEM
A statement from the Sudanese Revolutionary Front- Darfur

February 1st, 2008: The Sudanese Revolutionary Front (SRF) has decided to join JEM, inclusive of its political and military structures. The decision came following resolute conviction that JEM has spearheaded the cause of Darfur people, stood for the rights of the marginalised people in Sudan and has been firmer in its commitment to the plight of the dispossessed over the last five years.
We in the SRF declare our firm belief that JEM has proven its political maturity and has demonstrated its military control over most of Darfur. In line with our philosophy, JEM has also affirmed its commitment to justice and equality within a national unity that reflects aspirations of all Sudanese people, irrespective of religious, ethnic, linguistic, geographical or regional affiliations.

For all the above reasons, the SRF declares its complete amalgamation with JEM and it further invites all Arab groups in Darfur and beyond to pledge their full support to the Sudanese Justice and Equality Movement.

Re: The Arab-Egyptian Alliance symposium on "The ICC and Darfur problem"

The Arab-Egyptian Alliance for the ICC has held a symposium on 19 January, 2008 in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, with a view to enabling the Arab civil society to address international justice concerns as well as the likely role of the ICC. The considerably large number of participants is indicative of both the will and craving of the Arab public for the dispensation of international justice in the war-torn region of Darfur. The renowned member of the office of the attorney-general of the ICC and member of the International Inspection Committee, Mrs. Jennifer, delivered a lecture on "the responsibility of the ICC towards the Darfur problem". Then Mr. Kamal Al-Jazouli read a paper addressing the "dispute between the government of Sudan and the ICC: the way out".

In this connection JEM would like to emphasize the following:
1- Brining the perpetrators of war crimes, forced displacement and the genocidaires to justice is imperative; this also provides a real test for the international community and for its commitment to protecting oppressed civilians from authoritarian rulers who misuse the so-called 'sovereignty' to continue butchering and displacement of innocent civilians.
2- JEM emphasizes its readiness to cooperate with the ICC and is willing to help all those concerned in uncovering the truth and to allow justice to take its course.
3- Insistence of the government of Sudan to keep Mr. Ahmed Haroun in a ministerial position, making him particularly responsible for Human Rights in Darfur despite being named by the ICC for committing war crimes is clear provocation and is derogatory to the victims and to the international community. The same 'honour' has been offered to the Janjaweed Leader, Musa Hilal (also wanted by the ICC) thus promoting him to a leadership position. This is further proof that the Sudan government is unwilling to pursue justice (domestic or externally) and is rather intent on providing shelter for these criminals in the form of ministerial positions while the regime persists in its heinous policy of murdering and displacing Darfur civilians.
4- This unwillingness is manifest in the inability of the national justice system to bring war criminals to justice or even to seriously interrogate them; it is further manifest in the sheer lack of independence of the judiciary as they proved unable to prosecute criminals whose involvements are clearly evident.
5- By refusing to pursue justice domestically and internationally, the government of Sudan is encouraging the victims to take the law in their own hands and retaliate, an act which can be expected of those who have lost hope in all forms of justice.
6- JEM calls upon the Security Council, the ICC and all active members of the international community to take all measures possible to capture these war criminals and hand them over to the ICC as a matter of urgency. This will be instrumental in mending the rifted social fabric and in curbing violence and war in the region.
7- JEM further calls upon the ICC to visit its liberated areas in Darfur so as to meet the victims and listen to the witnesses and view all locations of war crimes. JEM is committed to fully assist in this noble endeavour.

Fresh Massacre in Saraf Jidad, West Darfur
A Statement from JEM

A combined horde of government force and their Janjaweed allies attacked the town of Saraf Jidad, 17k North West of Geneina city west Darfur. The attack took place January 22nd following several days of aerial bombardment to open a corridor for such heinous act.

According to reports of survivals, 21 people were killed in the attack, three injured and four others reported missing. Names and ages of all victims are reported it in the Arabic version of this Statement.

The attack also resulted in the burning of 250 houses and the looting of 3000 sheep and 1500 heads of cattle.

The assault was ordered by Major General Alhadi Adam Hamid, Head of Border Intelligence, Geneina and executed by the well-known Janjaweed leader Mohamed Widaa.

JEM warns the government and its Janjaweed allies that it will do whatever necessary to prevent repeat of such a massacre. The international community is urged to take note of the incident and renew its effort to put an end to massacres of innocent Darfur people.

Statement: Expulsion of JEM Members in Ceasefire Commission (CFC) and Joint Commission (JC)

The Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) extends its warm gratitude to the African Union (AU), the UN, all countries and civil society organisations for their efforts that eventually culminated in the release of its seven members in the CFC and the JC who were unlawfully abducted by the Government of Sudan (GoS) on 30/12/2007. JEM reaffirms:
1. That the CFC and the JC established by the AU and supported by UN in N'djamena and Addis Ababa in April and May 2004 respectively remain legally binding. The GoS has no authority or jurisdiction to expel its members unilaterally.
2. The GoS has poor record of honouring international agreements. The abduction of JEM members was unlawful and they should not have been detained in the first place.
3. The intentions of the GoS in this act are clear. It aims at blunting the images of its genocides actions against Darfur people as a result of exclusion of observers in both committees.
4. JEM seeks the support of the AU, UN, EU and all NGO's and civil societies organisations to exert pressure on the GoS to restore the CFC and JC for the sake of protection of Darfurians.
5. JEM will not stand aside and see the killing of its fellow citizens in Darfur. The ultimate responsibilities and the consequences of the expulsion decision remain with the GoS.

Urgent Military Communiqué
JEM Forces Gun Down MIG 29 Plane in West Darfur:

21/01/2008: Breaking news from Darfur tells of JEM forces shooting down a MIG 29 jet fighter belonging to Government of Khartoum. This took place today, Monday, at 14:10 UK time in the area of Jebel Moon with the government forces frantic to break the grip on the besieged El-Geneina city, Capital of West Darfur. The plane received a direct hit from long-range, ground-to-air missile and was seen shrouded in smoke and crashed in Karo Mountains between Al-Fasher and Kabkabya.

JEM reiterates that this last plane is the 3rd MIG 29 the GoS has lost to its anti-aircraft missiles. The others were the 2 MIG 29, shot down in Wad Ginja, North Darfur, July 8th, 2007.
Once again JEM warns that no plane is allowed over its airspace and liberated areas in Darfur without prior clearance from its command. For safety of civilian passengers, JEM advices all civilian flights of the Sudan Airways, AU, UN, NGOs as well as private commercial companies to take this warning seriously.

JEM: GoS Releases Seven Abducted JEM Members

The Government of Sudan has finally succumbed to intense pressure and released JEM Representatives to the Cease Fire Commission (CFC), UNAMID, at Alfashir, yesterday January 17th. All released detainees, with the exception of one, were abducted from the AU HQ and were kept in detention since December 28th. The disdain with which GoS treats the AU/UN is further exposed by giving the released detainees 24 hours to abandon their posts at the CFC and relocate to areas held by JEM. The implications of this unfortunate development must be noted by all stakeholders:
1. GoS has proved yet again its intent to disregard all previous Darfur agreements, top among them is N'djamena Ceasefire Agreement, April 04.
2. GoS is certainly planning for military escalation and the disruption of the CFC work is part of this insidious scheme.
3. The incident is a massive blow to trust building process between GoS and the Movements in the eve of the coming negotiations and is a clear sign that GoS has already abandoned peaceful resolution of the conflict.

Kordofan Congregation to join JEM A Statement

11/01/2008: We, the Military leadership of kordofan Congregation (tajamu Abnaa Kordofan) have decided to join JEM and integrate all our forces in JEM's army. This decision came as a result of our genuine accord with JEM's stated programme and its perceptive national vision regarding solution of Sudan's protracted problems.

Our decision to join JEM came after long consultations with our Executive Board as well as our internal and external offices and after full realisation that our problems cannot be sorted out by empty promises and sweet talks.

Having declared our official integration into JEM, the Kordofan Congregation affirms its full commitment to the Constitution of JEM and its stated principles and objectives.

JEM Controls Azerni Town, West Darfur
A Military Statement

10/01/2008: JEM forces took complete control over the town of Azerni, yesterday, January 10ths. Azerni lies 12k north east of Geneina, Capital of the State of Western Darfur.

At a different level, and according to a reliable source, GoS has now hired hit squads to assassinate Dr. Khalil Ibrahim, President JEM. This development follows three other attempts foiled by JEM with unnecessary loss of lives.

Two days ago, Sudan's army attacked a UN Convoy near Tina. Sudan's motive behind this attack was laid bare when their Envoy to the UN, Mr. Abdel Mahomoud tried to implicate JEM in it. The attack took place in an area which is entirely under control of Government army. Some army soldiers have already confessed that they have carried out the attack and were acting under instructions of their superiors. The implication of GoS in this attack is now beyond doubt and JEM denounces this evil act in clear and no uncertain terms.

Long live our struggle for justice and equality

JEM: GoS Arms Citizens to Defend City

08/01/2008: In fresh news, this morning, January 8th, the Khartoum Government distributed arms to Geneina civilians to defend their city. This desperate attempt reveals Khartoum's lack of faith in its own army and the Chadian rebels who have been entrusted with defending the city.

This irresponsible behaviour from the part of government is a repeat of what has happened in Abeyei area where some Misseriya have been armed to stand against SPLM army. The result is tragic as weapons have been turned against Dinka neighbours.

JEM advises Geneina civilians not to heed to Albasheer's plans and to stay away from all military zones.

Long live our struggle for Justice and Equality
