SUBJECT: Darfur CFC: Stolen Vehicles Returned 
and a Search for Second Chamber Funding 
 
1. Summary: The key issue in the Ceasefire Commission (CFC) the week 
of February 19 was funding for faction representatives' Mission 
Support Allowance (MSA), which is several months in arrears.  Force 
Commander Luke Aprezi asked the representatives to consider six 
options for realigning the CFC, including reducing the amount of MSA 
per representative and various methods of reducing the numbers of 
representatives in the sectors.  He would like to get the total down 
to 150 from its current 198, including the 30-40 which would be 
added for the Second Chamber.  The Force Commander again pressed all 
parties on the vehicle theft issue.  Senior Assistant to the 
President and Sudanese Liberation Movement(SLM) leader Minni Minawi, 
 located a stolen PAE vehicle, and returned it on February 21.  The 
FC directed that a joint GOS-AMIS team be established to review the 
GOS plan for Janjaweed disarmament.  End Summary. 
 
VEHICLE HIJACKINGS DOWN 
----------------------- 
 
2. The FC said that since the Joint Commission there had not been 
any further vehicles hijacked but urged the factions to continue to 
press the issue in the field.  He said he wants to ensure that AMIS 
is not part of the problem by supplying vehicles to the rebel 
factions.  He mentioned the attempted hijacking of the Deputy Force 
Commander's vehicle by three armed men several days earlier, and 
told the SLM/Minawi representative that it is disturbing that these 
attacks are happening in an area under his faction's control. 
Aprezi said he was pleased that over the past several weeks three 
vehicles had been returned by Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) 
and SLA Non-Signatory Faction (NSF) factions and praised these 
factions for tracking these vehicles down.  On February 22 during a 
brief "ceremony" during his visit to El Fasher, Minawi returned a 
PAE vehicle that had been hijacked by unknown assailants several 
weeks earlier.  (Note:  Though the vehicle was hijacked near an area 
nominally controlled by SLM/Minawi, the identity of the perpetrators 
is unconfirmed.  The incident is illustrative of Minawi's decreased 
ability to defuse events on the ground as the capacity of his forces 
declines.  End note.) 
 
NOT GIVING UP ON THE SECOND CHAMBER 
----------------------------------- 
 
3. Undaunted by the lack of Government of Sudan agreement on the 
Second Chamber, the FC continued to press the case.  He said that 
there are three things impeding the full implementation of the 
Second Chamber: 1) Government of Sudan agreement; 2) JEM's 
insistence on following the N'Djamena Ceasefire Agreement and not 
the Darfur Peace Agreement; and 3) funding. 
 
4. The FC said that faction representatives in four sectors have 
gone on strike over the arrears in their MSA, which have not been 
paid since October.  He said that AMIS' systems for disbursement has 
broken down and dissatification has increased among the donors over 
funding the cease fire process in Sudan when their nationals being 
attacked and in some cases sexually assaulted.  He said that the 
government of Niger is under strong pressure to withdraw its 
civilan/political officers after one was killed in Kutum in early 
February.  "I want peace more than you," Aprezi said.  "In other 
missions I have worked, such as Liberia, field commanders made aid 
workers off limits and would mete out strong justice against those 
who attacked them.  Here they are the prime target."  Appealing to 
their self-interest (representatives are very well compensated), he 
suggested that the representatives become better informed about the 
nature of European democracies that have real elections and not the 
"kangaroo elections" we Africans are used to.  Aprezi urged the 
faction representatives to take on a larger sense of ownership for 
what is going on in their sectors. 
 
5. Aprezi said that there are currently 198 faction reps deployed 
throughout the CFC, and if the Second Chamber comes into being in 
the current configuration, the number could go as high as 300-350. 
He would like to look at options to get the total down to 150, with 
the inclusion of Second Chamber representatives.  He asked 
representatives to consider a series of options: 
 
1) No MSA for anyone. 
2) Reduce the numbers of representatives proportionally across the 
sectors (three to two in HQ, two to one in MSGs). 
3) Place faction representatives only in areas the factions formally 
control. 
4) Give the DPA signatories more representatives than signatures in 
the Declaration of Commitment (DOC). 
5) Have representatives only in areas where factions have tribal 
roots, a variant of #3. 
6) Reduce amount of MSA for all.  He suggested that this could be 
done as a stand-alone measure, or in conjunction with any of the 
other options.

6. Aprezi said that he would develop these options with specific 
numbers and costs and send them to Khartoum as an options paper.  He 
also asked the factions to consider them and advise him which one 
would be best for the operations of the CFC. 
 
7. The factions said that they would go back and study the options, 
but in the meantime expressed concern that they had not been paid 
their MSA for so many months.  They said it would be impossible to 
continue to have people deployed if they are not receiving money for 
food and rent.  The SLA/Minawi representative also objected with 
cutting the CFC along tribal lines (option 5), as it would 
exacerbate tribal conflicts.  The FC said that on MSA arrears was 
not a donor issue but an AU administrative issue.  The EU 
representative said that in fact there was some question on the 
future of funding for the CFC.  Visiting UK DATT told El Fasher 
Poloff on February 20 however, that there appears to be a way 
forward on funding the CFC from a European source.  He believes the 
arrears issue will be worked out soon, although he was less sure 
about future funding. 
 
JANJAWEED DISARMAMENT 
--------------------- 
 
8. The FC then turned to the issue of Janjaweed disarmament, 
suggesting that the Government of Sudan had studied the issue more 
than the factions or AMIS and intimating that Government of Sudan 
representatives were looking for loopholes around the DPA to delay 
or reduce the burden of disarming the Arab militias.  He said he was 
directing his own staff to examine the issue and to form a joint 
GOS-AMIS team to review the Government of Sudan plan in detail.  He 
said that observers and faction representatives would not be part of 
the disarmament team but the findings would be briefed in the CFC. 
 
OTHER BUSINESS 
-------------- 
 
9. Other issues that were addressed included: 
 
-- Standard operating procedures are still under revision and will 
be reviewed in the next meeting. 
-- Government of Sudan was pressed on the issue of airport access, 
which has been tightened and makes it difficult for AMIS to 
function.  The Government of Sudan representative said there was 
simply too much vehicular traffic at the airport and they will now 
provide just 15 passes for AMIS at any given time.  The FC informed 
the Government of Sudan representative that this was simply 
unacceptable as his party alone has four vehicles. 
-- FC would like to convene a meeting of aid workers to show that 
some areas with proper coordination are safer than they believe. 
-- Factions complained about being uninvited to the morning AMIS 
briefing.  FC told them they had been abusing the information from 
these briefings to benefit their factions. 
-- There were 12 cases ready for review, but they were delayed until 
the next week because of the Minawi's visit during the Wednesday 
meeting.
