The governor of the Darfur region and the head of the Sudan Liberation Movement, Minni Minawi, has called on the transitional government to expedite and immediately pay the ‘peace dues’ for Darfur in accordance with the Juba peace agreement signed in October. In an interview with Radio Dabanga on the side lines of the Paris conference this week, Minawi highlighted his vision for Darfur’s restoration as a single region. He also said that the Sudanese state is obligated, according to the Juba agreement, to provide an amount of $700 million immediately to the Darfur government to kick-off implementation of the humanitarian and development aspects and the return of the displaced.
