REF: NDJAMENA 123 
 
1. (SBU) SUMMARY:  In two separate conversations on March 28 and 29, 
representatives of the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) claimed 
it was business as usual for them in their struggle against the 
Government of Sudan (GoS) and in their "dedicated quest" toward 
negotiations.  Political leadership and field commanders alike have 
been giving no indication of tensions between the JEM and other 
Darfur rebel movements or with the government of Chad.  JEM 
continues to insist that it is serious about negotiations with the 
GoS, despite its belief that such negotiations need not be 
predicated on a ceasefire, to which JEM still refuses to adhere. 
JEM continues to be wary of the United Nations/African Union 
mediation for such negotiations and to berate the international 
community for not doing more to pressure the GoS to come in good 
faith to the negotiating table.  JEM remains skeptical of UNAMID's 
intentions but insists it is willing to work with the peacekeeping 
operation, as long as it is on JEM's own terms.  In short, it 
remains business as usual for JEM, and we should work to bring JEM 
in line with our push to deploy UNAMID as rapidly as possible. END 
SUMMARY. 
 
JEM POL/MIL LEADERSHIP CLAIMS PRIMACY ON THE GROUND 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
2. (SBU) In two separate conversations with FieldOff on March 28 and 
29, representatives of the political and military leadership of the 
Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) assured poloff that despite 
rumors of tensions between JEM and other Darfur rebel movements, JEM 
still reigned supreme on the ground.  "People are sending messages 
to discredit us in the eyes of the international community," said 
JEM Political Chief Abdulaziz, speaking from Chad. "There is no real 
movement on the ground except for JEM.  Other movements exist only 
on the Internet." [NOTE: This last bit was especially ironic coming 
from the movement which relies the most on a website to disseminate 
information about its activities.  END NOTE].  JEM Field Commander 
and former rep to the Second Chamber of the Ceasefire Commission GEN 
Beshier, speaking from Jebel Moun, (where both he and Abdulaziz said 
the vast majority of JEM members are at the moment) described the 
area as calm and confirmed that there was no fighting between JEM 
and any other rebel movement. 
 
3. (SBU) Insisting that JEM's political and military capacities are 
sound, Abdulaziz brushed aside questions about JEM's present 
relationship with the Government of Chad (GoC).  He claimed that 
JEM's popular support was so substantial at the moment that it 
rendered unnecessary any assistance from the GoC or from any other 
outside source [NOTE: Abdulaziz could give no real explanation as to 
why, if his claims of JEM's self-sustainability were true, he was 
calling from N'djamena, saying only that he was "on mission."  END 
NOTE].  Neither Abdulaziz nor GEN Beshier spoke much about the 
situation in Chad, other than to call on the international community 
to involve itself more intimately in resolving the situation. 
Abdulaziz reported that Chadian rebel groups were presently in Libya 
for talks with COL Qadhafi ahead of likely discussions with the 
GoC. 
 
4. (SBU) Given JEM's apparently precarious situation on the 
political and military fronts, it stood to reason that it would be 
ready to move on to talks with the GoS, Abdulaziz explained.  He 
dismissed rumors that JEM leader Khalil Ibrahim had decided to 
negotiate with the GoS at the urging of Sudanese Islamist leader 
Hassan al-Turabi.  Abdulaziz insisted that JEM was serious about 
entering into negotiations with the GoS and that the only viable 
mediator from JEM's perspective was former SYG Kofi Annan.  "The UN 
and AU mediators have no vision or knowledge of the parties to the 
Darfur conflict," Abdulaziz explained, adding that since Annan got 
involved in mediation in Kenya, he should have no excuse not to dKQ9*QQ#1Q Deby, of forthcoming elections and of 
problems in the South. 
 
NO NEED TO PREDICATE PEACE TALKS ON CEASEFIRE 
--------------------------------------------- 
5. (SBU) Despite the lull in fighting between the GoS and JEM, 
Abdulaziz assessed that the GoS was not serious about Darfur peace 
and would seek a military solution to the Darfur crisis.  He claimed 
the Sudanese Armed Forces continued to increase their presence 
throughout West Darfur [NOTE: UNAMID Chief of Staff has acknowledged 
that based on GoS troop movements in West Darfur, "it looks like 
they are preparing to wipe out JEM once and for all." END NOTE]. 
JEM would accordingly be forced to defend itself, but Abdulaziz did 
not consider this "reality" to be at odds with JEM's stated quest 
for good faith negotiations.  "Why does the international community 
assume that peace talks can't take place while fightiQQj$
