Sudanese still brothers and sisters says Juba
Tuesday, 17 April 2012 08:02 South Sudan >>> . "Our position is we consider the Sudanese public as brothers and sisters to the people of South Sudan. We don't see them as an enemy," Dr. Barnaba Marial Benjamin, the Information Minister told the press in Juba on Tuesday. The Sudanese national parliament on Monday branded South Sudan an 'enemy' state following the SPLA occupation of the oil rich disputed area of Heglig. Marial however, blames the decision on some few individuals within the National Congress Party (NCP). "We know this decision taken by parliament is by a limited number within NCP leadership, who are the extremists in that group. They dragged parliament into this process". "The citizens of the Republic of South Sudan must know that the citizens of Sudan who are here who became foreigners as a result of declaration by Khartoum making our citizens foreigners, are under full protection of the Republic of South Sudan". Marial condemned the continuous Sudanese aerial bombardment of the oil fields. "We would like to condemn very strongly the bombardment of the oil infrastructure. They have once again hit an oil field outside Heglig. According to Marial, the Sudan government will be responsible for the destruction of the infrastructure, saying the air strikes hit well number five and well number eight. He went on to say that the government of South Sudan is committed to see the two countries cooperating economically. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
