Credit: Reuters/Stringer KHARTOUM | Sat Dec 31, 2011 2:38pm EST KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir on Saturday urged fighters of one of the most powerful rebel groups in Darfur to lay down its weapons and seek peace with the government after its leader was killed. The Western region of Darfur is the scene of an almost-decade long insurgency of non-Arab tribes against the government, which they accuse of political and economic marginalisation. The Sudanese army said last week it had killed Ibrahim Khalil, leader of the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), as he tried to cross into South Sudan. JEM, which is one of the most powerful rebel groups, has confirmed his death. In a speech marking Sudan's independence day, Bashir called on JEM fighters to lay down weapons. "If those who break away from what is called the Justice and Equality Movement ... want peace then our doors and hearts are open," Bashir said. He did not elaborate. JEM officials could not be immediately reached for comment. The United Nations has said as many as 300,000 people may have died in Darfur, where Khartoum mobilised troops and mostly Arab militias to crush the uprising. Khartoum puts the death toll at 10,000. Qatar brokered a peace deal which Sudan signed this year with the Liberation and Justice Movement (LJM), an umbrella association of smaller groups. But JEM and the other major rebel groups have refused to sign the document, dampening hopes the region will soon see lasting peace. In November, Darfur's main insurgent groups said they had formed an alliance to topple Bashir with other rebels in two border states, where fighting broke out around the time of South Sudan's independence.
