MEMORANDUM
NO. 1
His Honorable/ the Prime Minister
With respect
The present Sudanese element
known as the Arabian tribes in Darfur, inside Sudan, from Arabic groups that
had entered Sudan in the fifteen Century AD, this element regardless of its
different tribes, it belong to one origin.
These tribes have settled in two
areas in Darfur region, the first group settled in South Darfur province, which
represent eighty percent (80%) of the province area, the others were in
northern Darfur province, which include great part of its north, centre, west and
east, this area cover fifty five percent (55%) of the province, and the Arab
tribes represents more than seventy percent (70%) of the population in Darfur
at present.
Since it entered Sudan, the Arab
tribes had played great role in the formation of image and character of this
region in the past centuries, because the Arabs in this part from our home land
are the creators of the civilization, that formed the effective really
existence for this region, whether in ruling, religion and language, which had
great role in formation of the present Sudan, they were the defender and the
flash of Mahadi revolution, they courageously defended and died for this Sudan,
as they participated in the political stability, economical and social
progress, culture and civilization development during the past periods in Sudan
generally and Darfur in particular, by these we confirmed and would like emphasized
that we preserved and hold with great faith the unity of this country and
protect it at all time rejecting all causes of separation and disperse.
Honorable/ Prime minister
The scholars, who study world
system of governance, usually define local government in many ways, all of which
means decentralization, and authorization aiming at creating political
administration and political changes in the state structure.
The entrustment of any region,
politically and administratively to population of that region within the
national framework, Darfur region which
include eighty four (84) tribes is one of Sudanese regions where its population
is seeking to participate in ruling of their region, as long as each tribe
posses abundant number of eligible leaders, if that means the concept of local
governance, that the administration of a region is to be given to population of
that region, where participation of each tribe depends on the number of
eligible leaders in that tribe.
Therefore we as Arabs, we were stripped from our right in leading this
region and the participation in decision making, and we became majority without
weight, and followers not citizen, although we represent the following:
1.
Seventy percent (70%) of population of this region.
2.
Educated people among us represent more than forty
percentages (40%) from the total representation of this region, among them
hundreds who do have Sudanese certificates.
3.
We participate with not less than fifteen percent
(15%) in the national income.
4.
We participate with more than ninety percent (90%)
in the income of the region.
5.
We participated with lion share with our children in
the Sudanese army; we sacrifice with them for this country.
6.
Politically we had presented fourteen
representatives to the parliament, they truly represent the Arabic element, and
we also greatly participated in presenting eighteen elements to the parliament.
Mr. President
All above mentioned facts ensure the
political, economic and social strength of these tribes in this region;
accordingly we are requesting to be represented by half of the constitutional
post in the regional government and the central government as a minimum number.
Accordingly, we are afraid that
the continuation of this negligence to Arabic elements in the participation
that things may slip away from wise among us to the hand of ignorance then
there could occurred what could not be praised because injustice from a
relative is much destructive than a sword.
In the end we are assuring all
Sudanese citizens that we are not calling to cause difference and despair but
we are seekers of justice and equality.
Long live United Sudan, under
freedom and democracy.
