SUBJECT: EL FASHER IDP REP ON HILAL APPOINTMENT AND UNAMID 
 
REF: KHARTOUQ0 
 
1. (SBU) SUMMARY: In a January 27 meeting with FieldOff, a 
representative of Abu Shouk internally displaced persons (IDP) camp 
gave a local perspective on latest Darfur events, including the 
appointment of former janjaweed militia leader Sheikh Musa Hilal to 
the post of Advisor to the Minister of Federal Rule.  He also 
described IDP concerns about the mandate of the United 
Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID). END SUMMARY. 
 
MUSA HILAL APPOINTMENT "NORMAL" TO IDPS 
--------------------------------------- 
2. (SBU) In a January 27 meeting with FieldOff, a representative of 
Abu Shouk IDP camp in El Fasher, North Darfur, dismissed the federal 
appointment of Musa Hilal as a "very normal" action for the 
Government of Sudan (GoS).  Speaking on behalf of the IDP population 
of Abu Shouk camp, he said that Darfurians are used to far worse 
affronts than this appointment.  He considered the announcement as 
more of a slap in the face to the international community than to 
the IDPs whom Hilal once persecuted, as well as a blow to GoS 
credibility. 
 
3. (SBU) However, the IDP rep expressed concern about rumors 
circulating in Abu Shouk that Hilal's appointment would make him 
part of the eventual peace negotiations on Darfur.  FieldOff urged 
the IDP rep not to encourage or to overreact to such rumors, noting 
that most observers view the appointment as symbolic (reftel). 
(Comment: However, it would not surprise us if the GOS does send 
Hilal to the next round of negotiations. End comment).  The IDP rep 
assured that while Hilal's political visibility frustrated the IDPs, 
it was not enough to make them resort to rioting or violence. 
 
MISPERCEPTIONS ABOUT UNAMID MANDATE 
----------------------------------- 
4. (SBU) Despite IDP suspicions that UNAMID is collaborating with 
GoS police and Darfur Peace Agreement (DPA) signatories, the rep 
predicted there would be no protests among IDPs in response to the 
expanded presence of UNAMID.  However, he highlighted three causes 
for IDP distrust of UNAMID.  First, he said that UNAMID cooperation 
with GOS police presents a problem.  IDPs equate the GoS police with 
the janjaweed, since some of these former militia members were 
incorporated into national police ranks.  As such, for the IDPs the 
GoS police represents the same "killing machine" which drove IDPs 
from their homes in the first place, and for UNAMID to be seen as 
cooperating closely with them as part of its policing 
responsibilities is a blow to the peacekeepers' neutrality in the 
eyes of the IDPs. 
 
5. (SBU) Second, the IDPs are mistrustful of the DPA signatories, in 
particular the Sudan Liberation Army of Minni Minawi (SLA/MM).  The 
IDP rep said IDPs consider the DPA (which he called "Minni's peace") 
too fragile to be sustained or trusted, so they have no confidence 
in dealing with Minni's movement.  Regarding UNAMID reports of a 
rise in the number of armed elements in IDP camps, the rep blamed 
SLA/MM.  He also blamed SLA/MM for the rash of carjackings currently 
plaguing the humanitarian community in North Darfur.  "Minni's men 
think Zam Zam [IDP camp] is their territory," he explained, "so they 
come and go with as many arms as they please." 
 
6. (SBU) The rep's final point on IDP perceptions was in regard to 
the presence of arms in IDP camps.  He blamed not only SLA/MM for 
the upswing in armed elements in the camps, but also GoS-planted 
"spies," such as Gimir and Kineen tribesmen who are residents of the 
camps.  The rep claimed these tribesmen are outfitted with GoS 
uniforms and arms.  He stressed the need for UNAMID to police the 
camps and to disarm these groups as quickly as possible. 
 
7. (SBU) COMMENT: The lack of outcry from IDPs to Musa Hilal's 
appointment is perhaps surprising, though presumably by now the IDP 
population knows what to expect from the Khartoum regime.  It is 
imperative that UNAMID build trust with the IDP population and 
remain neutral, otherwise IDP ties to rebel movements who are 
perceived as protecting their interests will only strengthen, 
particularly with SLA/Abdelwahid.  The expulsion of non-signatory 
Ceasefire Commission reps from El Fasher over recent weeks also 
appears to have had little effect on the IDPs.  It is worth noting 
that Abdelwahid's reps remain in El Fasher, however, despite the 
forced departure of other non-signatory movements' members.  This 
likely explains the muted reaction to the expulsions among 
Abdelwahid's many supporters in the IDP camps. 
 
8. (SBU) Tripoli minimize considered.
