Tijani Sese, head of the Liberation and Justice Movement, told Radio Dabanga in an interview Thursday that there appears to be progress in negotiation of the wealth-sharing dossier at Doha. In another sign of progress in the talks, the LJM on Thursday signed an agreement with the government to extend an earlier ceasefire signed 18 March of this year. Tijani Sese signed for LJM and Amin Hassan Omar signed for the government. Sese dismissed reports that negotiations at Doha have been suspended or delayed, saying that they are continuing in working-level committees. The rebel movement is negotiating with the government for a share of national wealth and power, as well as more local concerns including land rights and compensation for the displaced in Darfur.

Sese in additional remarks said that he supports the International Criminal Court. The court is seeking to prosecute President Omar Al Bashir for genocide as well as two rebel leaders for war crimes committed against African Union peacekeepers. Sese said that the movement’s position in this respect is very clear, pointing out that the Secretary-General of the movement cooperated with the court. He was referring to Bahar Idriss Abu Garda, who appeared voluntarily in The Hague. Charges were dropped against him for lack of evidence while two of his lieutenants continue to face criminal proceedings.
