I believe it is going to be a daunting task, but not impossible. What is fragmenting the rebels is not their demands for the people of Darfur, but greed for power. The regular splits wee all about power. They can all claim to be speaking for the poor people of Darfur, but what is happening is not the case.Is the rebel group of Abdel Wahid el Nur right in not attending the reconciliation talks? He claims he will not attend the talks until fighting stops in Darfur and a multilateral ceasefire is in place. Unfortunately for him his actions will bring more damage to the people of Darfur. If they are fighting the same cause, at least he should go and listen to what the others are saying. His claims will be legimate if he joint the other groups, THEN demand cessation and disarmament of the Janjaweed or whatever as ONE voice. It will have more effect than his sole rantings.
The UN had already secured the force for Darfur, and he should not put himself as an obstacle now, for the sake of his people . . .

I think I probably said this a million times, but I am not fond of the sudanese political front at all including the rebels. Just like you said I am absolutely convinced the Darfurian rebels are greedy for power as their division proved to all of us, because if their real concern was the people of Darfur then they would have all stuck to that concern as one group and not a million factions. Sometimes I wonder if the last twenty something years of Sudan's political scene has produced any decent, respectable, and credible politicians other than Dr. Garang. I highly doubt that
W got a long way to go sis. The politics practice in Sudan is from of old. We need to be more progressive and work for the good of all.
Long live the dreams of Dr John Garang!
