Al -Fasher’s Truce: a glimmer of hope towards peace and stability – something for the fatherland – ✍️ Mr. Salah is strange
Today, attention is addressed to the city of El Fasher, the capital of the state of Darfur du Nord, in Sudan, where a long -awaited long truce was announced to form a real glimmer of hope in a sky linked to conflicts and destruction. This human stage, which came after difficult periods of siege and suffering, is a very important turning point to reach peace and stability from which this afflicted city has long been deprived.
Al-Fasher suffered for many years from the scourge of war, has witnessed enormous displacement and a general destruction of infrastructure and goods. Life was hostage to fear and anxiety, and hopes for a better future day by day. But the declaration of this truce reflects a sincere desire for the international community and the parties concerned to end this bleeding and open new horizons for constructive cooperation between all Sudanese groups. It is a historical opportunity to rebuild trust, to cure wounds and to build a future based on peaceful coexistence and mutual respect.
It is not possible to overestimate the importance of this truce in humanity. Thanks to this, convoys of humanitarian aid will be able to reach the needy, and civilians will have a breathtaking chance, and certain aspects of normal life will gradually return. This is a decisive first step towards the attenuation of the enormous human sufferings felt by the residents of El-Fasher, and pave the way back to their displays in complete safety and safe.
In the midst of these positive developments, the media have a severe and decisive responsibility. After the simple transmission of news, the media must make double efforts to support this humanitarian initiative and work to improve safety and comfort in El Fasher. The role of the media goes beyond the simple media coverage to include the spread of the importance of the armistice. The media must highlight the human dimensions of the armistice, explain its importance to save lives and relieve suffering, and encourage all parties to adhere to it.
Continuing confidence and optimism through positive stories, interviews with the population, documenting reconstruction efforts, the media can help strengthen confidence and optimism among the inhabitants of the El-Fasher, improving their feeling of hope for a better future, and the fight against rumors and misleading information. During conflict, rumors that can undermine peace efforts are distributed. The media should be a reliable source of information and fight against deceptive news that can threaten the stability of the armistice.
Stressing the violations (if applicable) with the need to support the armistice, the media must also be a vigilant eye on the violations that may arise, and to transfer them professionally and in a responsible manner to guarantee responsibility and protect civilians, and encourage dialogue and reconciliation, the media can provide dialogue platforms between the different components of society, and to encume size and build communication bridges.
The truce of El-Fasher is not only a cease-fire, but rather an opportunity to redefine the relationship between the inhabitants of the same homeland and to build a future according to the foundations of peace and development. The success of this truce requires the concerted efforts of all, local and international actors in the media and civil society. Let us work together, each of its location, to ensure that this truce is the beginning of the end of the suffering of al-Fasher, and the beginning of a new era of peace and prosperity for this unshakable city.
Admittedly, confirmation of the armistice in El-Fasher, according to its extreme importance, will inevitably be confronted with great challenges, including the lack of confidence between the parties at war. Long years of conflict have created a thick wall of lack of confidence between factions at war. Each party fears the intentions of the other, and it can see the armistice as an opportunity to restore positioning or plan for future attacks, which makes any simple violation sufficient to explode, and overcome it with strict and transparent monitoring mechanisms, there must therefore be independent and neutral surveillance committees, perhaps with international participation, to document violations and immediately report. This guarantees responsibility and reduces the chances of skepticism.
Generate confidence gradually, and start with “track II diplomacy” programs which bring together the leaders of the local community and influence personalities on both sides to exchange views and identify common interests, and mutual security guarantees to work to ensure security guarantees for each party, perhaps by deploying neutral forces or separation mechanisms that guarantee that sudden.
There may be regional or international actors who have interests in pursuit of the conflict or have relations with certain internal parts. They can seek to undermine the truce to support their own programs and overcome this challenge with in-depth regional and international diplomacy, so that the international community does not make solid diplomatic efforts to put pressure on all external parties to stop any support for organizations that seek to obstruct peace, as well as the unity of international position and unify the classification of the major and regional powers on the support of the weapon and Party.
Residents of El-Fasher suffer from food, water, drugs and serious shelters. If the truce is not quickly translated by a tangible improvement in their living conditions, people can lose hope and think that the armistice is useless, which can cause disturbances or pressures on the parties to be overcome, the deterioration of the humanitarian situation and the urgent need of people, and can be overcome and the surrounding areas, as well as the rehabilitation of basic services Rehabilitate the water, electricity, sanitation and health establishments infrastructure, offer rapid employment possibilities and support small projects and micro-projects and offer temporary job possibilities to reduce economic pressure on families.
There may be small armed groups or not -discipored individuals and out of control that do not follow a clear central leadership, and they may carry out sabotage or stuff for personal reasons or for not understanding the importance of the agrement, and overcoming this challenge, by Developing Clear Plans to and demobilize (DDR) and develop understanding programs for Disarmament, Demobilization and Retegration of Fighters Into Society, While Providing Economic Alternatives to them, with extended awareness campaigns and a conscience of all combatants, even young people of them, the importance of the armistice and the consequences of its violation, and the application of a penal system Effective with clear mechanisms to deal with any individual or collective violation, including dissuastic sanctions to ensure commitment.
Certain roads leading to El-Fasher or in the inside areas can be dangerous due to earthly mines or explosive explosive bodies (ERW), which hinders the movement of the aid and the return of the displaced teams, and can be overcome by efforts to eliminate mines and give priority to mines moving teams for secure roads and vital residential areas Clear and updated roads and transport zones.
The installation of the armistice in El Fasher requires a strong commitment to all internal parts, coordinated and continuous international support, and an excellent investment in the efforts of reconstruction and consolidation of peace.
