Sudan: Darfur official reveals security planText of report by Sudanese newspaper Ra'y al-Sha'b on 24 January
The officer in charge of securing roads in South Darfur State and the commissioner of presidential affairs, retired Col Ali Sulayman Abu-Duraa, has revealed of a plan to address the issue of outlaws who violate security and threaten citizens traveling on roads within the state. Abu-Duraa said the plan involved integrating these elements into the regular forces or assisting them by providing them with livelihood means so that they did not need to resort to criminal activities.
Could this tactic also be behind the recent hiring of Darfur militia leader Musa Hilal as a ministerial adviser?
