Sudan: New Darfur Authority to Give Top Priority to Return of Displaced People

press release

Khartoum — The head of the Darfur Regional Authority (DRA) established under the terms of a peace agreement to end conflict in the Sudanese region said implementation of the deal was firmly on track and the DRA will give priority to rolling out development projects that would encourage the return of displaced people.

DRA Chairman Eltigani Seisi, leader of the Liberation and Justice Movement (LJM) which agreed to peace with the Sudanese government last July, said both the government and the LJM had demonstrated their total commitment to the full implementation of the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur (DDPD). The key institutions provided for in DDPD have now been established and budgetary provisions have been made to fund the DRA and its programmes, Seisi said in a UNAMID Media interview as he prepared to move to Darfur to take up his role as head of the new Darfur governance structure.
