During his visit to Nyala city, capital of South Darfur State, on Monday President Al-Bashir called on the citizens of Darfur to refrain from fanaticism, regionalism and tribalism and support the government program for collecting arms and to make the possession of arms confined to the regular forces only.
He lauded the stances of the State of Qatar in supporting Sudan regionally and internationally and in the fields of development and rehabilitation.
The President has attended the signing of a contract for implementing the Western Salvation Highway - Al-Fasher - Nyala sector at the length of 95 kilometres.
He has issued a directive banning collection of any fees on the roads, excluding the fees issued for the interest of the National Roads and Bridges Corporation. The imposition of fees on the roads has contributed to increasing the prices of basic commodities and hindering the flow of goods, he added.
Al-Bashir inaugurated in Nyala a number of development and services projects including internal roads, the rehabilitated Neyala Stadium and Justice Tower and the Zakat chamber buildings, beside Nyala University and an electricity distributing project there.
