Sudanese civil society

Sudanese civil society say there is no shortcut to national dialogue. Civil society says calls for a national dialogue in Sudan are deeply concerned as organisations that current plans for dialogue fall short of the minimum required .According to these organisations situation in Darfur is as bad as it has ever been. Over the last few weeks, government supported militias, widespread inter-Arab tribal clashes, and rebel attacks on villages and towns including government garrison towns have spiralled out of control. Piecemeal approaches to peace have failed, with the Darfur conflict now in its eleventh year and fighting in South Kordofan and Blue Nile continuing unabated.
