Arrangements underway to try Darfur “war crimes” in Sudan- official

KHARTOUM, Feb 10, 2005 (Al-Khartoum) Minister of state for foreign affairs, Al-Tijani Salih Fudail, has pointed out that the findings of the fact-finding committee, which was set up by the government, are nearly the same as the findings of the international fact-finding committee, and that the government has begun implementing the recommendations of the national committee, including court proceedings against individuals accused of war crimes.

It is of the greatest importance here, he added, that the international community should agree to these arrangements because trying people indicted outside Sudan would only complicate the Darfur problem instead of resolving it.

The minister of state who is acting for the foreign minister asked the international community to give Sudan the opportunity to resolve the Darfur problem within the competencies given to the Sudanese first vice-president who said that he had already started doing some thing about it.
