Interviewed in Addis Ababa: Ataef Abdul Wahab
Sudanese ambassador in Addis Ababa Osman Nafie said that there are doubts about the success of the negotiations between the government and the SPLM in what is known round the tenth in Addis Ababa, and re-doubts to enter Mbeki in all issues of Sudan in order to extend, regionally and globally Othman stressed that the time is appropriate now for the negotiations.
In another context, the ambassador revealed the identity of the armed militias Balvhqh, said they follow the Government of the Territory which follows the Amhara tribe which is along the border with Sudan, pointing out that the census in Ethiopia blast after arriving to 100 million people. While he said that Ethiopia wants to expand in the Sudanese territory, but he came back and said that this problem is old since the sixties and specifically the government of Mr. Imam Sadiq al-Mahdi, the ambassador said that the problem lies in the open relations of the country is not adjacent to Ethiopia only, but in all the border east and west and north .. to Minutes of the interview:
Mr. Ambassador How do we look now to the Ethiopian-Sudanese relations?
Ethiopia and Sudan are undergoing political stability and diplomat between them. Excellent short.
Of crisis situation in Alvhqh and you know that the last incident, which claimed the lives of as more newspapers published enabled the 25 martyrs, there are those who say that in a particular season in which Ethiopians Ptngulwa on the borders of a million acres in Gedaref What is your reading of this?
Old problem, not born of the moment or the result of yesterday, nearly set off for a long time, I can say that since the sixties, days Abdullah Abdulrahman since the days of the Government of Abdallah Khalil, particularly in the government of Mr. Sadiq al-Mahdi, and discussed in this subject between the two countries, if the incursion Ethiopian in Sudanese territory was not only attacked the latter on Sudanese farmers, I want to tell you something and know our family farmers Alsudaniyon on the border well, the days of Emperor Haile Selassie was the Ethiopian government pursues a unique approach, superb service policy for its people and their children, Ethiopia As everyone knows suffer from the problem of population explosion , they are now more than one hundred million people, and thus they are trying to stretch because their land has narrowed them, Hilaslasa was giving any army officer retired aids and facilities of free money the state, on the basis of which it goes a retired officer and continue the rest of his life in agriculture. Yes farmers lying in those Sudanese territory.
So where is the fault?
The imbalance that we do not have we in Sudan over the population of those territories and we do not suffer from the country's population explosion, Sudanese farmers come to those areas in the planting and harvesting seasons only, but then go back where they came from and these areas become empty.
The latter is in Sudanese territory?
We were given an opportunity to expand, these neighboring areas of Sudan regions Alomehra and even understand the issue dimensions are all I'll be with you and clear, the group in power now are from Tigray, and those at the border are Amhara regions have been one day in power, so maybe they had a position now .
Also what we are in our relationship with Sudan in this matter?
The problem is that the Ethiopians were not confessing demarcation of the boundary drawn by the British at the time, particularly at the turn of the last century.
It means Henw .. Ethiopia, Sudan and one?
No, not well, but we Taattorna in this matter, who drew the border at the time called Mr. Quinn, and he was representative of the British government at the time, and line the border between Sudan and Ethiopia is very well known and uncomplicated, but they do not recognize, as I said the issue of planning because they believe it has been in a period of colonial.
Who are those who do not recognize the planning, the Ethiopian government or Alomehra areas?
Alomehra areas that do not recognize the planning, and I've period came to the Convention in 1973 in a period of Nimeiri after the July 71 events, and relations improved between Sudan and Ethiopia days emperor Hlaslasa who sponsored the south the first agreement with Joseph Lagu, the 1972 Convention has in Addis Ababa and then the Ethiopian government reached with Sudan an agreement recognized by the two governments, in the scheme of limits established by Mr. Quinn and was famous memorandum was recognized, and formed a special commission for the demarcation of the border and agreed to seek the assistance of foreign expertise until funding and other and identified so that the state which will come the experts of which were specifically (Finland) on the basis that they have experience.
Then what happened after that?
Even (Nasna) did not have the mind because the Ethiopians allow farmers to engage in agriculture, but that the land be under the sovereignty of Sudan and then pay for the use of Sudan as scheduled, including rent, this position was positive from the Sudanese government.
Sudanese farmers?
They are the first government at that time was to prove ownership of the Sudanese territories.
There are armed militias supporting Ethiopian farmers?
These militias supported by the Government of the Territory. I also explained to you they were in the previous rulers and Ethiopia now control a tribe other than those at the border, so the central government turn a blind eye to it.
It is no longer the Sudanese opposition to the presence of Ethiopian land How do you explain it?
No longer Sudanese opposition have an interest in its presence in Ethiopia, in the past there were two problems, one problem Asmara with Addis Ababa, and the problem of southern Sudan with the Sudan, and Ethiopia has accused the government funded Eritreans were also Sudan accuses Ethiopia supported the rebel movements and the SPLM at the time, Emperor Haile Selassie the same on days Nimeiri was called this command (mutual harm policy), this is the spirit that prevailed at the time, we are bleeding and they bleed, so it was Ethiopia refuge for the opposition, now there are no problems between Othoibia nor Eritrea and Sudan and South Sudan, secondly this regime governing Ethiopia now came out of the womb of Khartoum, Sudan, in addition to that is the country's exports of their products, to order it never expects to Ethiopia to embrace the opposition because they have no interest in it.
Go back to the border issue will be resolved when ..?
This issue does not occupy much of our thinking now, our strategic thinking, we do not want to lose Ethiopia because of the border issue, and believe me, this border is not a priority now, not a problem.
Z means Halayib question .. what we are losing Halayib Ashan strategic dimension in Egypt?
No, not understanding well, we do not want to spoil the relationship between us and Ethiopia do not want to get into confrontations with them in now, the relationship we have with Ethiopia is greater than to lose. In my opinion, that if you want to solve any problem between the two countries should be favorable conditions for that matter, any achievement that could happen for the two countries to happen breakthrough to the crisis of the border, this should be and the circumstances are favorable, if we assume that our relationship with Ethiopia worsened what will benefit and to what we will get, Under formatted climate between the two countries.
O Maulana mean what in the solution?
I did not say that, but I say that this problem is old and will continue to exist, but should be agreed in a favorable atmosphere, such as those that were between Haile Selassie and Nimeiri when he was signed on planning (Quinn) If benefited from the right climate and clear the atmosphere between the two countries'm going to get to an agreement, This is a strategic view between the two countries.
Are you optimistic about the tenth round of negotiations between the SPLM concerning the two regions?
Let me tell you that the issue does not come Thus, this issue needs to coordinate and arrange, meaning Is climate processions now or not.
Do you think that now is an appropriate climate for the negotiations on the two regions?
God is always in doubt
What is the source of this uncertainty?
Mbeki, for example, entered into all the issues of Sudan, and this is in my opinion wrong, Mbeki enter itself in the issue of the national dialogue and in the matter of the two regions, as well as Darfur and the relationship between Sudan and South Sudan, is talking about too many things, if the topic for him was the dialogue did not apply in this file It has a two regions is another file, and so on, I think that the development of Sudan's issues as a package is not true, it may have negative effects and implications for the two regions.
And why Mbeki himself cornered in all issues of Sudan?
For him, he wants to expand (Almanddh) has the mandate as well, so the entry in Sudan will raise all issues of its shares on the level of the region, the United Nations and the world.
Mbeki was accused of corruption in his country and resigned because of charges of corruption How do you accept a person who has a concern in his country even comes to replace our problems.
Even President Zuma now has problems, and concern about corruption and the people out there wondering where to built his palace, from what I know I Mbeki that a natural departure came the sense that it has not renewed after his term of presidency.
Km Sudanese investments in Ethiopia?
Billion, Athdothon investors for billions of dollars they own in the Ethiopian market, we are No. 6 in the capital and No. 2 in the size of the investors in Ethiopia?
Africa remains the decision of the Peace and Security Council 539 less than a month almost, not constitute a threat to the government and the system in your opinion?
Why in this decision, you have not read the decision well, I can say that this decision by one thing and that he admitted that the national dialogue be inside Sudan, and talked about a preparatory meeting for the dialogue preparatory, and that is in Addis Ababa only after ninety days offers Mbeki report.
This decision means not stress the system.
Never press it, the resolution said that the meeting, an interview may be for one day or may be for hours and did not say a conference. In my opinion, that if Sadiq al-Mahdi came to Khartoum these parties will end the boycott of the dialogue, there are some politicians have no weight, only sounds.
How do you see the problem of human trafficking between Ethiopia and Sudan?
This is the biggest problem the Sudan faces in all its borders not only Ethiopia borders, east, west and south and the north, you learn how human numbers of Nigerian assets in Sudan now, very much, now Southerners come to us from the south, as well as Eritrea, Chad and all of West Africa, the Great Our problem lies in the open borders, we are our problem Kplad and state that even if we had a foreign presence should Nillth because this means our national security, and is in its course, all private food security and livelihoods and policy aspects, Ethiopia will explode almost in 2050 and will become 200 million, they are looking .. Therefore They go to Sudan, and frankly they do better than the Sudanese workers, I do not want to accuse the Sudanese worker laziness, but they are obedient and work better, even agricultural labor now in Gedaref all Ethiopians. So I think that our relationship with Ethiopia are excellent, we are the two largest in the region so that our relations should be strategically, region by a very large disturbance, you have the problem of southern Sudan and Somalia and what is happening in Yemen.
