Darfur JEM to release war prisoners, appeals to army to cease resistance
The Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) announced that it will release today more prisoners of the army who were captured in recent fighting in eastern and southern Darfur. The rebel movement said that this action is a sign that JEM lacks any hostility toward the Sudanese army and other regular forces, as national institutions to protect the homeland and not the National Congress of Al Bashir and his regime. In an interview aired today, JEM Secretary for Management and Administration Abubakr Hamid Nour urged the regular forces to understand this issue well and to desist from killing their own countrymen, and to stand with the movement and the people of Darfur in their just cause to bring down the system, which is represented by the National Congress and not the people of Sudan and its political and civil forces.
