Syrian Kurds declared a de-facto federal region in Kurdish-controlled areas of northern Syria, after the end of a two-day conference in the town of Rmeilan in the Syrian province of Hassakeh on Thursday.

Representatives of the Kurdish, Arab, Assyrian communities and other ethnic groups participated in the conference and commonly decided to bring the three Kurdish-led autonomous areas (Jazira, Kobani and Afrin) under the umbrella of one federal region, called Rojava. According to the statement released after the conference, the federal region will be a part of Syria and an autonomous state.

“At least 200 representatives have met in Rmeilan to put forward this decision. We expect to hold several other meetings to discuss how the administration of this region will be organized… a federal and democratic Syria is a guarantee of coexistence and brotherly relations,” the statement reads.

The announcement was not welcomed by the Syrian government, as the Syrian Foreign Ministry said that “any such announcement has no legal value and will not have any legal, political, social or economic impact as long as it does not reflect the will of the entire Syrian people.” One of the main enemies of the Syrian regime, the Syrian National Coalition, also rejected the Syrian Kurds declaration and warned of any attempt to form autonomous regions that “confiscate the will of the Syrian people.”

According to Reuters, Washington, which supports Rojava forces in their battle against the Islamic State, also said that it would not recognize the new federation. “We don’t support self-ruled, semi-autonomous zones inside Syria. We just don’t,” said State Department spokesman John Kirby and added. “What we want to see is a unified, whole Syria that has in place a government that is not led by Bashar al-Assad, that is responsive to the Syrian people. Whole, unified, nonsectarian Syria, that’s the goal.”

On the other hand, according to the Associated Press (AP), Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov this week said that a federal system in Syria, is one possible option if the Syrian people agree to it.

Turkey, which is on war with the Syrian Kurds, also rejected the establishment of the federal region. A Turkish official told Reuters: “Syria must remain as one without being weakened and the Syrian people must decide on its future in agreement and with a constitution. Every unilateral initiative will harm Syria’s unity.”

However, the move most probably angered the Turkish government which fears that the growing Kurdish power in Syria will cause separatism movements in Southern Eastern Turkey, where most of the Turkish Kurds live. The Turkish government has already started military operations against the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) in Northern Syria and against the outlawed Kurdistan’s Worker’s Party (PKK) in Southern Eastern Turkey.

Syrian peace talks

Meanwhile, the UN envoy for Syria emerged from the fourth day of peace talks in Geneva to tell reporters that significant gaps remain between the two sides.

Staffan de Mistura said he’d host both sides separately on Friday to accelerate the process. He also said there were “no discussions about federalism” — a reference to the Syrian Kurdish declaration. De Mistura has said though that the Syrian Kurds deserve a spot at the negotiating table in Geneva.

Even though the Syrian Kurds are the most effective ground forces in the war against the Islamic State (IS) in Syria the PYD was left out of from the peace talks. The exclusion of the Syria Kurds, was in line with the demand of the Turkish government, which sees the Syrian party as a terrorist group which co-operates with PKK and threats the Turkish interests equally as the IS.

However, the rest of the international community doesn’t see PYD as a terrorist group and Moscow, strongly insisted that the Kurds should have been invited to the upcoming peace talks, suggesting that leaving them out could endanger Syria’s territorial integrity.

Rodi Osman, the head of Syrian Kurdistan’s office in Moscow, told Russian news agency, RIA Novosti, that the exclusion of the Syrian Kurds from the peace talks was a definite factor for the Rojava declaration.

“The second round of inter-Syrian talks is underway in Geneva, but Syrian Kurds were not invited. It means that the future of Syria and its society is decided without Kurds. In fact, we are pushed back into a conservative, old-fashioned system which does not fit well with us,” Osman said and added. “In light of this, we see only one solution which is to declare the creation of [Kurdish] federation. It will serve the interests of the Kurds, but also those of Arabs, Turks, Assyrians, Chechens and Turkomans – all parts of Syria’s multinational society. Given the complicated situation in Syria, we would become an example of a system that may resolve the Syrian crisis.”

March 17, 2016 (JUBA) - South Sudan has no forestry policy and its authorities are worried the world's youngest nation could lose its natural forests, unless stringent measures are put in place to curb the rampant rates of illegal logging.

These fears come barely a month after conservationists from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) warned of dangers the lie ahead as the country's wildlife and natural resources face an alarming expansion of illegal exploitation, trafficking and logging.

The report, the agency said, was based on scientific monitoring and investigations undertaken its team undertook in cooperation with local partners over the past months, which documented a sharp rise in illegal activities in various areas of the young nation.

Cited as an immediate threat to South Sudan's forests were illegal logging, gold mining and charcoal production, among others.

Sadly, however, these illegal activities are reportedly being perpetrated by local and international individuals and actors, including members of various armed groups active in the country.

South Sudan is currently embroiled in a conflict that has killed tens of thousands of the population, displacing nearly two million of them.

According to conservationists, prior to the outbreak of its war in December 2013, South Sudan's extensive areas of untouched natural woodlands, forests, and savannas, were home to wildlife populations including approximately 2,500 elephant, hundreds of giraffes, the endemic Nile Lechwe and white-eared kob tiang, Mongalla antelope migrations, wild dog as well as chimpanzees.

However, over the past two years of armed conflict, the various armed forces across the country, WCS said, have been implicated in several cases of large-scale illegal exploitation of natural resources.

“The situation of uncontrolled illegal logging, mining, poaching, charcoal trade, and other natural resource exploitation in the country is getting worse,” acknowledges Jaden Tongun Emilio, the chairman natural resource management group for South Sudan.

He calls for the enactment of a natural resource enforcenemt law.

“We need to work together at local, state, and national levels to ensure that the foundation for future development of the country is secured through sound and transparent natural resource law enforcement and integrated management,” stressed Tongun.

Despite concerns from conservationists and authorities, John Aguer considers forest logging and charcoal production as his livelihood.

The wood, which Aguer converts into charcoal and sometimes to build good shelter for his family, is his only means of making a living.

"I usually cut dry trees around the forest and I burn charcoal out of it," the 35-yearl old tells the African Independent, through a translator.

He adds, “As for now, I consider this the only source of my survival.”

Although there is no information on the exact number of forests in the country, forests and woodlands, according to 2009 figures from the Agriculture and Forestry ministry, cover an estimated 29 percent of the land area in South Sudan or 191,667 square kilometres.

A 2010 study conducted by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), estimated that a high rate of up to 2,776 square kilometres of forests and other wooded land were being lost annually in South Sudan.

PRINS Engineering, in a 2011 study, discovered that the forests of the Imatong Mountains, rising to 10,456 feet (3,187 meters) in southern South Sudan were part of the Eastern Afro-montane ecosystem, rated by scientists as one of Africa's biodiversity hot spots.

These forests, it said, are homes to many endemic and possibly unique species, but scientists have yet to study the region's species.

Policy makers, however, say de-forestation remains a threat to forests, but absence of a forestry policy in the country worsens it.

“It is illegal to cut down trees in the forest reserves,” Beda Machar, the Agriculture and Forestry minister told a recent symposium.

But in the absence of laws, he admitted, deforestation will continue to negatively impact on the country's rain patterns and eco-system.

WCS's conservationists also cited the expansion of unregulated charcoal production along, allegedly involving several members of the South Sudanese army (SPLA).

“Illegal logging has occurred in and around Southern National Park and Lantoto National Park (involving Ugandans in complicity with local South Sudanese) and further illegal logging has been reported in forest reserves in the Yambio area,” it further notes.

But while South Sudan makes progress towards fully implementing the peace accord signed in August 2015, there is an urgent need for the Transitional Government of National Unity, State, and local stakeholders and international partners to work together to halt this exploitation crisis, secure the natural resource base for the future development of the country, and prevent further conflict, says WCS.

“The country is highly vulnerable to slipping into a situation in which various individuals and groups take advantage of the governance vacuum to engage in illegal and unsustainable activities plundering and destroying the natural resource base,” conservationists warned.

“This risks exacerbating corruption, armed and political conflict, and undermining future development, and stability in the country”.

Edmund Yakani, an activist, called or full implementation of all wildlife, forestry, mining and the environmental laws of South Sudan.

“Sustainable peace and development will only become a reality if the nation's natural assets are secured, conserved and sustainably utilised for the development of the country and its citizens,” he said.

The country's Imatong forests, experts say, have been heavily degraded and deforested, and Mount Dongotomea is now bearing the brunt of clearing that threatens to fragment the ecosystem further. The mountain's tree cover has reportedly been reduced by two-thirds since 1986, and, if deforestation in the area continues, the natural forests of will also disappear before the end of the decade.

However, as many people get involved in commercial agriculture, deforestation practices may be hard to control given the growing interest of foreign entities in South Sudan's large spans of land.

With more than a third of its population moderately or severely food insecure, South Sudan is among the most food insecure countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. FAO and World Food Program estimate that a significant proportion of the nation's population, as high as 33% in the lean season, depends on food aid to ensure a minimum level of nutritional intake.

European Union leaders will try to convince Turkey’s prime minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Friday to accept a common plan to help end Europe’s migration crisis in return for financial and political concessions but they remain unsure if Friday’s Brussels summit can clinch a deal.

“Tomorrow’s negotiations with Turkey won’t be very easy,” said German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who devised the outlines of the plan with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, after EU leaders agreed a common stance on Thursday.

At late night talks in Brussels on Thursday, leaders arrived at a common for negotiations with Turkey that they said would not result in mass deportations and some differences were bridged over sweeteners to give Turkey in exchange for its help.

But Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said that reaching an agreement had not been easy.

“There too, it is a complicated process,” he said. “I think we can get a deal out of this, we have to get a deal out of this. But the race is not really finished yet.”

A senior Turkish official told Reuters that Davutoglu would press the EU to open up new areas of negotiation on its long-stalled bid to join the bloc, despite a veto threat by Cyprus.

“We’re on the right track but we’re not there yet,” French President Francois Hollande told reporters after the first day of talks in Brussels. “I can’t guarantee you a happy ending.”

Even if they can overcome possible Turkish objections, Thursday’s EU discussions revealed considerable doubts among the Europeans themselves over whether a deal could be made either legal in international law, or workable.

Desperate to ease the pressure placed on Europe’s borders by the arrival of more than 1 million migrants in a year, the EU has turned to Turkey hoping to stem the flow of refugees into overburdened Greece.

The plan would essentially outsource Europe’s biggest refugee emergency in decades to Turkey, despite concerns about its sub-par asylum system and human rights abuses.

Under it, the EU would pay to send new migrants arriving in Greece who don’t qualify for asylum back to Turkey. For every migrant returned, the EU would accept one Syrian refugee, for a total of 72,000 people to be distributed among European states.

In exchange for the help of Turkey — home to 2.7 million Syrian refugees — the EU will offer up to 6 billion euros in aid, an easing of visa restrictions for Turkish citizens and faster EU membership talks.

The summit chairman, EU Council President Donald Tusk, and Rutte are scheduled to present Europe’s terms for an agreement to Davutoglu on Friday for his endorsement.

If Davutoglu objects, the heads of state and government of the 28 EU nations will meet again to reconsider their position.

But Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel warned that Turkey must not expect a free ride: “We’d rather have no agreement than a bad agreement.”

Human rights groups and leading EU legislators have decried the plan as a cynical cave-in, sacrificing universal rights to pander to a restless electorate fed up with hosting people who are fleeing war and poverty.

Even some leaders acknowledged the EU was walking a tightrope.

“It is on the edge of international law,” Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite said before leaders signed off on the tentative deal.

March 17, 2016 (KHARTOUM) - The Sudanese government Thursday decided to put an end to its open door policy for South Sudanese nationals fleeing the armed conflict in the neighbouring country and decided to treat them as foreigners.

The decision was announced following the weekly cabinet meeting chaired by President Omer al-Bashir. It ends the privilege of equal access to health services and education like the Sudanese citizens and possibility to enter and reside in Sudan without visa or residence permit.

The Sudanese government also decided to take all the necessary measures to establish and verify the identity of the South Sudanese nationals. Further it was decided to take legal measures against anyone who does not carry a passport and a visa.

When an armed conflict broke out in South Sudan, the Sudanese government refused to give the South Sudanese nationals the refugees status or to establish camps for them saying they are free to enter, reside and work in their former country and to receive health and education services.

The decision, at the time, was politically motivated and in harmony with Khartoum' policy hostile to the presence of foreign aid groups the establishment of refugee camps.

But very quickly, the Sudanese authorities to relocate the South Sudanese outside the capital Khartoum to the While Nile state near the border.

In line with the Cooperation Agreement of September 2012, Sudanese and South Sudanese can live and work in the two countries. But the protocol of the four freedoms is not yet implemented, and the South Sudanese nationals should also wait to get their identity documents from their government.

There are nearly 200,000 South refugees in Sudan following the eruption of conflict in South Sudan in December 2013. In addition there are some 300,000 who continue to reside in Sudan since the independence in 2011.
