He also called on the Darfuris working in executive and legislative institutions to submit their resignation in protest against what is happening in Darfur, and to “all the people of Sudan to go to the streets, to oust the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) from power”.“The NCP has not only created this huge economic crisis, it is behind every tribal war in Darfur and Kordofan, and the genocide taking place in Darfur, the Nuba Mountains, and even in the capital Khartoum.” Buffer troops The Ministry of Interior on Thursday ordered the deployment of more buffer troops in East Darfur to contain the situation in Abu Karinka.
