Federal Alliance Of Eastern Sudan
The Federal Alliance of East Sudan (FAES) () is a splinter group of the largely defunct Eastern Front, a military coalition composed of the Beja Congress and the Rashaida Free Lions primarily formed due to the inability to address their regional concerns through peaceful means. History Chronic poverty and marginalization in East Sudan, exacerbated by neglect from the central government, have led to the formation of rebel groups such as FAES, who advocate for equal development opportunities and economic redistribution. FAES broke away from the Eastern Front coalition as it rejected the Eastern Sudan Peace Agreement (ESPA) signed on June 2006 by the coalition with Omar al-Bashir's regime, sponsored by Eritrea. Under the agreement, the Eastern Front would be given three high-ranking positions in Khartoum and also ten legislative seats in each of the three states in East Sudan: Kassala, Al-Qadarif, and Red Sea The Red Sea ( ar, البحر الأحمر - بحر القلزم ...

Rashaida Free Lions
The Rashaida Free Lions ( ar, al-usud al-hurra, الأسود الحُرة) are an armed group of the Rashaida people that was active in the eastern regions of Sudan. The Free Lions were formed in November 1999 by Mabrouk Mubarak Salim. While the political grievances articulated by the Free Lions, like those of their allies the Beja Congress, revolve around the effects of large mechanized agricultural schemes upon traditional life, the act which mobilized the Rashaida into action was the government confiscation of 400 vehicles the government of Kuwait had given them in thanks for their political support during the 1991 Gulf War. The Rashaida had immigrated from Saudi Arabia only in the late 19th century and have extensive family ties with Kuwait. In March 2005, the Free Lions agreed to an alliance with the larger Beja Congress under the Eastern Front umbrella. Although the Eastern Front later was joined by the Justice and Equality Movement, the Free Lions never gained a wide b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
