    TAGS: PREL SU EG UNCHS
    SUBJECT: Sudan: Launch of the Nuba Mountains People's Forum

    CLASSIFIED BY: Donald A. Blome, Minister Counselor, DoS, ECPO;
    REASON: 1.4(B), (D)

    ¶1. (C) Key Points:

    -- Leaders of the Nuba community informed Embassy Cairo that they
    have created the International Permanent Forum for the Nuba
    Mountains Indigenous People (Nuba Forum) to protect and advocate
    for the rights of the Nuba people, which they believe are in danger
    under the NCP regime.

    -- Cairo-based Nuba leaders are taking a cautious approach to
    registering local members of the Forum alleging evidence of
    surveillance.

    -- The Forum is supporting SPLM presidential candidate Yasir Arman,
    but will boycott parliamentary elections because they believe the
    "incomplete census" disadvantages the Nuba people.

    -- The Forum advocates for a unified, confederal Sudan, but accepts
    that secession will likely occur and is preparing to aggressively
    defend Nuba rights under any scenario.

    -- The Forum would like S/E Gration to visit the Nuba Mountain
    region and meet with Nuba leaders.

    ¶2. (C) Comment: Uncertainty over the Nuba Mountain region has most
    of our Sudanese contacts worried that the region could become the
    next "flashpoint" for conflict in Sudan.

    ---------------------------------------------

    Creation of Nuba Forum to Protect Nuba Rights

    ---------------------------------------------

    ¶3. (C) SYG of the Nuba Forum Nour Elanbia Aburaida Shemaila
    (protect) and local Cairo leaders presented us with an announcement
    of the organization's creation on February 2. (Note: Shemaila is
    also a member of the SPLM National Secretariat.  End Note).
    Shemaila informed us that Nuba representatives in Sudan, Australia,
    Egypt, France, Kenya, Libya, Norway, Saudi Arabia and the United
    States had decided to create the Forum to protect and advocate for
    the rights of the Nuba people.  He said the Forum's agenda is based
    on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous
    Peoples. Shemaila said the Nuba Forum has officially opened offices
    in Norway, France and Sweden and plans to open offices in the near
    future in most of the aforementioned countries except Sudan and
    possibly Egypt, where Cairo office Treasurer Mojo Khalifa (protect)
    worried about "security concerns."

    ¶4. (C) Cairo Office Director of External Relations Mubarak
    Manakaden (protect) told us the Forum's goals are the recognition
    of the Nuba identity, the right to preserve and teach the Nuba
    language and culture, ensure that the Nuba people have ownership of
    land and local resources and the right to self-determination, which
    are in danger under the NCP regime.  Shemaila said the model for
    the Nuba movement would be to obtain similar rights as the
    Aborigines have in present-day Australia.

    ----------------------------

    A Cautious Approach in Egypt

    ----------------------------

    CAIRO 00000169  002 OF 002

    ¶5. (C) Khalifa said the Cairo office of the Nuba Forum is working
    with the NGO Habitat International Coalition to organize seminars
    to raise the awareness of the Nuba people on their rights including
    land ownership and equality.  However, Shemaila said the group has
    halted registration of new members in Egypt and alleged that its
    website was hacked and leadership phone calls were monitored.
    Khalifa believes the GoE is concerned about the Nuba Forum's
    activities because it could "stimulate the Nubian people in Egypt
    to ask for similar indigenous rights" and the Forum's activities
    could create instability in the Nuba Mountain region, which would
    threaten Egyptian peacekeepers deployed to UNMIS.

    --------------------------------------------- -------------

    Forum Supports Arman, Will Boycott Parliamentary Elections

    --------------------------------------------- -------------

    ¶6. (C) Shemaila stated that the Forum supports the presidential
    candidacy of SPLM Parliamentary Head Yasir Arman as "the last
    chance for unity."  However, he said the Nuba Forum will boycott
    the parliamentary elections because a complete census did not take
    place among the Nuba people and the resulting distribution of
    parliamentary seats would not reflect the influence of the Nuba
    population of South Kordofan.  According to Cairo office
    Information Spokesman Mohamed Gom'a Suliman (protect), the Nuba
    will only receive 2 of 10 parliamentary seats allotted to South
    Kordofan, but comprise approximately 60-70 percent of the
    population.  He added that under the current parliamentary setup,
    the Nuba will have little say in the public consultations that
    could lead to self-determination.

    --------------------------------------------- ----

    Desire for a United Sudan, Preparing for Conflict

    --------------------------------------------- ----

    ¶7. (C) Despite fighting on the side of the SPLM in the last civil
    war, Shemaila told us that the Nuba people have historical ties to
    northern Sudan.  He stated that because of this, the Forum supports
    a united Sudan with a decentralized, confederal system of
    governance that would grant the Nuba autonomy over the Nuba
    Mountains region. However, he told us that if the South secedes,
    the Nuba Forum will advocate for its right to self-determination,
    in which the Nuba people should decide whether to be independent,
    part of the North, or part of South Sudan.  He stated that the
    denial of Nuba self-determination would create "another Darfur."
    Shemaila said the Nuba have "25,000-soldier army" at Al Abayad
    dedicated to protecting Nuba rights.

    ---------------------------------------

    S/E Gration Should Visit Nuba Mountains

    ---------------------------------------

    ¶8. (C) Shemaila contended that the Nuba Mountain region has been
    ignored by the USG.  He encouraged S/E Gration to come to the
    region and meet with Nuba leaders.  Shemaila said the Forum values
    and needs U.S. support in order to help it protect the Nuba's human
    rights.
