The Union of Resistance Forces (UFR) of Timan Erdimi, one of the main movements that signed the Doha peace agreement in August 2022, has stepped up to denounce the absence of any progress in the implementation of the military component of the agreement, based on the establishment of a DDR (disarmament, demobilization and reintegration) program.

The implementation of theDoha peace agreement was to begin on the very day of its signature on August 8, 2021, with the installation of a consultation and monitoring committee for its implementation composed of nine members: three representatives of the government, three of the politico-military movements and three others of the international community, according to article 3 paragraph 20 of this text.

Its role is crucial in the implementation of the entire DDR process, from the quartering of combatants from the politico-military to their integration into the defense and security forces or their reintegration into civilian life.
No monitoring committee
Because it is this committee which should, if we stick to the terms of the Doha agreement, ensure “ supervision and coordination » of the activities of a National Commission responsible for implementing DDR, as well as that of the joint liaison teams, which must make this program a reality on the ground.
This has not been done. The transitional power tried to circumvent this provision, the ex-rebels denounce today, by setting up three months ago the only national commission responsible for the implementation of DDR, and which was placed under ” the direct authority of the transitional Prime Minister », points out one of them. “ We are far, very far from the letter and spirit of the Doha peace agreement “, he insisted.
