American actress and UNICEF ambassador Mia Farrow offered her freedom in exchange for a Sudanese Liberation Army rebel in Darfur. Her appeal came hours before 8 rebel factions asked for final talks with The Sudan's government.
Suleiman Jamous (62), a Sudanese Liberation Army (SLA) coordinator, has been restricted at a UN peacekeeping base in Kadugli near Darfur for over 13 months and could be arrested if he leaves the base, even for an urgent stomach biopsy.
In her letter to the Sudanese president, Ms. Farrow offered to replace him because his long absence was an “impediment” to peace, referring to the “crucial role” he played by encouraging SLA negotiations and seeking reconciliation.
