North & South Sudan agree to withdraw “all unauthorized forces” from Abyei

JAR– North and South Sudan have agreed to withdraw “all unauthorized forces” from Abyei and form a joint committee to monitor the implementation of an accord signed last January in Kadugli town to ease tension in the hotly contested region. The deal was reached in a meeting held on Wednesday at the Khartoum-based headquarters of the UN Mission in Sudan (UNMIS), said the UN body which issued a press release welcoming the agreement and expressing readiness to provide the necessary assistance required to facilitate its implementation.
A text of the agreement seen by Sudan Tribune states that the two sides, the north’s National Congress Party (NCP) and the south’s Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM), had agreed to form a Joint Technical Committee (JTC) consisting of evenly-split army and police units as well as UN representatives.
The JTC’s duty will be to oversee the implementation of Kadugli agreement, including the withdrawal of all unauthorized forces and deployment of Joint Integrated Units throughout the region.
The committee is due to meet in Abyei on April 18.
The status of the oil-producing region of Abyei remains a major point of contention in the implementation of the 2005’s peace deal that ended decades of civil wars between north and south Sudan which voted to form an independent state whose existence is due to be declared in July.
Abyei saw several clashes in the past but violence has recently been exacerbated by the onset of the migration season during which members of the north-backed Misseirya tribe traverse the borders into the areas of the south-linked Dinka Ngok tribe in order to graze their cattle.
UNMIS recently intensified patrolling of Abeyi region in the wake of clashes between Messirya and South Sudan police stationed in the region. There have also been reports of military buildups in the region by the north’s Sudan Armed Forces

Nigerian Govt imposes curfew and closes all borders 16th april presidential election

The Federal Government on Thursday shut all the country’s land borders till 6am on Monday to ensure a peaceful and hitch-free conduct of the presidential election.

It added that vehicular movement would not be allowed nationwide from 8 am to 5pm tomorrow, the day of the election.

The Minister of Interior, Capt. Emmanuel Ihenacho (retd.) announced this just as the Police also said that movement would be restricted from 10pm today till 6am tomorrow nationwide.

Ihenacho’s statement was made available shortly after the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, assured of the commission’s readiness for the poll.

The minister, in the statement by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Alhaji S.B. Osigiza, explained that only INEC vehicles, security operatives specially assigned for election duties as well as those on essential and emergency duties would be allowed to ply the roads.

Also, the Nigerian Police Force, through its Public Relations Officer, Mr. Olusola Amore, said in Abuja that there would be restriction of movement of persons from 8am to 6pm on Saturday within the voting areas and centres.

It added that the restriction order was to enable law enforcement agents checkmate miscreants, thugs and other criminals who might want to use the cover of darkness to interrupt the smooth conduct of the elections.

A statement by Amore reads, “The police will not condone any act or conduct that is detrimental to the smooth conduct of the election as any trouble makers will be arrested and dealt with according to the law.

“The police are using this medium to assure all Nigerians that all law enforcement agents are working in collaboration to ensure violence free and fair elections.

“All eligible voters are advised to go out and cast their votes without fear of molestation and they are also enjoined to leave the immediate voting vicinity and allow their various party agents to take care of protecting and watching all vote cast until they are duly counted and recorded by the INEC officials.”

Also on Thursday, Jega directed all presiding officers of INEC to paste results of elections at the polling units.

He explained while receiving the European Union election observation group that the order was necessary to guarantee transparency and ensure greater fairness in the polling process.

Jega, who advised voters to ensure that returning officers pasted results at the polling units after tabulation, expressed worry that the commission received reports that results were not pasted in some polling units during last Saturday’s National Assembly elections.

“Once the results are tabulated, they must be pasted. This is in order to bring additional credibility in the polling process,’’ he said.

The INEC chairman also expressed the commission’s readiness for the presidential poll.

He said that the states had taken delivery of all the materials needed for the exercise.

Jega acknowledged hitches witnessed at the National Assembly election, including the late commencement of voting due to the late arrival of materials and some missing names in the voters’ register.

He said, “Some of the challenges of accreditation have been addressed. We have also taken steps to correct the omission of names of voters from the register at some polling centres.

“We hope there will be remarkable improvement by next Saturday,” he said.

Jega expressed his appreciation to the EU for its contribution to the achievements of the Commission since he assumed office.

Earlier, the EU Chief Observer, Alojz Peterlez, had commended INEC for a successful National Assembly elections.

Peterlez said the mission of the group was to ascertain the commission’s preparations for presidential poll

Nasarawa-West CPC candidate arrested?

 

Journalists for Africa

JAR

The Police Force headquarters is currently detaining the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) candidate for Nasarawa-West senatorial district, Gen. Ahmed Aboki Abdullahi (rtd), Peoples Daily learnt late last night.
A source close to the CPC candidate told our reporter that General Abdullahi is being held by the police at the Force CID in Garki Area 10, Abuja.
Sources close to the General confirmed that the CPC senatorial candidate was invited by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Hafiz Ringim, along with his Nasarawa-South senatorial district candidate, Alhaji Tanko Wamba.  
Our sources revealed last night, however, that since he left Keffi to report to the IGP’s office in Abuja, the General could not be reached, thereby suggesting that he might have been detained by the police.
When contacted last night, Tanko Wambai confirmed that he and General Abdullahi were invited by the Police, but said he could not report to the Force headquarters yesterday because, “the message got to me at about 11pm today (yesterday) and I said I can’t leave for Abuja this night.”
The Nasarawa South CPC senatorial candidate could not however confirm General Abdullahi’s arrest, even though he said he could reach the former Director of Military Intelligence (DMI) since they spoke much earlier.
It would be recalled that the Nasarawa West and South senatorial contests were trailed by controversies, with the CPC threatening to challenge the results of last Saturday’s National Assembly election in the two senatorial districts over alleged electoral malpractices.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared former Governor Abdullahi Adamu and Senator Suleiman Adokwe of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as winners of the election in Nasarawa West and South respectively.
Only last Monday it was reported that the CPC raised an alarm over alleged ballot box stuffing during the election by top PDP officials in the state.
The party, through its gubernatorial candidate, Alhaji Tanko Almakura, alleged that a highly placed government official was accosted by a team of security operatives in Giza development area, where it was alleged that the official was caught with illegal ballot boxes while thumb printing ballot papers in his personal residence.
All attempts to speak to the Police Force spokesman, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Olusola Amure for his reaction to the alleged arrest failed, as he refused to respond to phone calls to his cell phone, and also failed to reply a text message sent to him.
