The Sudanese Council of Ministers (cabinet) held a meeting on Sunday in Fashir, the capital city of North Darfur State, to show the government's confidence in the security and stability in Darfur.
Sudanese President Omer al-Bashir said at the beginning of the four-hour meeting that "The meeting exposes the real situation in Darfur and refutes what has been reported by the western public media which described Darfur as the biggest humanitarian disaster in the world because of the security problem."
Al-Bashir, who began his rare visit in the conflict-torn western region of Darfur on Saturday, said most parts of the Darfur region were secure and stable, and that people there were enjoying the natural life.
"The Darfur issue is on the way of solution," the Sudanese president said, adding that the peace efforts in the next stage would be focused on the implementation of security measures, supporting the refugees to return to their homelands and holding dialogue with the rebel movements which had refused to sign the 2006 Abuja peace agreement with the government.
During the meeting, the cabinet listened to reports delivered by governors of Darfur's three states and Minister of Federal Government Abdul-Basit Salih Sabdarat on the situation in Darfur and the government's efforts for peace and development in the region.
