SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Reuters - "There are problems": Doubts in Darfur as new PM promises peace

6/11/19: Reuters - "There are problems": Doubts in Darfur as new PM promises peace, by Ulf Laessing

 In a feature piece, Reuters spoke to internally displaced people in El Fasher in Darfur, following the visit of prime minister Hamdok, during which he “offered little in terms of concrete new proposals.”

 Saleha Nour, a market trader, dismissed Hamdok’s promise of a brighter new future, saying that she has heard the promises before and given up hope of returning to the village she was forced to flee, due to the continuing fear of militia attacks.

 Saida Ibrahim said: “every time we go back [to our farms], the Rapid Support Forces come and kick us out.”

 21-year old Ahmed Ibrahim told Reuters: “our conditions for a return are security, peace, education, health care,” 21-year Ahmed Ibrahim tells Reuters during the visit. He was 10 when his family fled.
