فوجئت كثيرا بان هذة الاتفاقية موقعة فى اديس ابابا وهى مقر الاتحاد الافريقى فاسترجعت ذكريات اتفاقية نيفاشا وكيف ظهرت منظمات والمهم هذا فخ واضح للحكومة السودانية حتى تنتشر كميات كبيرة من المنظمات فيفقد السودان الميزان الرئيسى فى قياس المخاطر والدليل على ذلك تخبط العمل الطوعى فى الولاية مفوض يحل محل المنظمة ووزير رعاية اجتماعية يصرف احتياطيات الازمة واموال للجامعة العربية فى شكل مبيدات والكثير والملاحظ ان الحكومة ادخلت الهلال الاحمر حتى تكسب تعاطف المنظمات الدولية فى تمرير هذة الاتفاقية مالم تعالج مشكلة المنظمات المصطنعة فلن تكون هناك معالجة حقيقية لحالة الحرب والكوارث فى السودان
