Suleiman Jamous: “I deplore all violence”

Suleiman Jamous plans to leave the UN military hospital he was confined to for more than a year, risking possible arrest. That’s him in the picture.

“On Monday, I shall leave the UN Military Hospital here for the first time in more than a year. I shall walk to UNMIS headquarters here in Kadugli, and request the UN to transport me to Kenya where I can receive medical treatment, after which I shall return immediately to the challenges of humanitarian assistance and peace.”

… “I have never carried a gun and never will. In my position as humanitarian coordinator I never engaged in any act of violence. As all who know me can attest, I deplore all violence.”

On Tuesday a Foreign Ministry official said that Sudan will allow Suleiman Jamous to be moved without risk of arrest if the international community guarantees he will not rejoin armed rebels in Darfur.

It looks like we’ve possibly just discovered a second Sudanese Ghandi. The first was Ustaz  Taha.

    It’s not what he said. It’s what he’s done.
