Sudan Tribune - 1 day ago

his government.

Sudan last February objected the election of Uganda as member of the
OIC commission and demanded to condemn the east African country for
supporting rebel groups in Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile.
Following what the Islamic organisation formed a fact findings mission
led by a Tunisian diplomat, Al-Habib Kaabashi who is also the head of
OIC political department.
Karti who is participating at a meeting of OIC foreign ministers in
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was briefed by Kaabashi on the activities of his
panel and told the Sudanese foreign minister that they demanded
Kampala to "stop harbouring armed groups that are fighting against
Sudan".
According to the official SUNA, the diplomat said they recommended at
the level of the OIC general secretariat that the committee continues
its activities and work to bridge the gap between the two countries.
Kaabashi further added that the Ugandan president welcomed their
demarche and expressed readiness to engage in talks with Sudan to
address the problem.
However, the Sudanese minister said that fact finding committee has to
submit a report on its mission and to say "whether Uganda effectively
supports the armed movements opposed to the Sudan or not".
Regarding the willingness of Yoweri Museveni to settle the issue,
Karti told the OIC official that it is not the first time that Uganda
makes such pledges and fails to meet it.
On 12 October 2013, in a "friendly and frank" meeting held in Addis
Ababa with his Sudanese counterpart Omer al-Bashir, president Museveni
vowed to stop his support to the rebel groups.
But the two countries continued to trade accusations of support to rebel groups.
The Ugandan Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi, on 23 April, said his
country filed a complaint with the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation
(OIC) about Sudan's alleged support for LRA.
Karti expressed the hope that Kampala shows a sense of responsibility
and work to respect Sudan's sovereignty and stop interfering in its
internal affairs.
He further stressed Sudan's keenness to build good relations with all
countries, especially its neighbours, adding that Khartoum does not
object to support any efforts that will bring peace and stability in
the region.
