Sudan, South Sudan to soon start negotiations – NCP Akhir Lahza Khartoum, 21/05/12 – Sudan’s ruling National Congress Party (NCP) maintain s that any resumption of talks with South Sudan should start with talks on the security arrangements. “The talks would soon resume,” he said without elaborating but added that the security talks should start before any talks on the oil issue, NCP spokesperson Badreldeen Ahmed told the press in Khartoum yesterday following a meeting of the party’s politburo. Commenting on recent remarks attributed to South Sudan President Salva Kiir in which he reportedly said South Sudan was in the frontlines of battling the spread of Islam into Africa, the NCP spokesperson said that those statements were a means to gain the sympathies of the non-Muslim world and instil fear of Islam. He criticised the US for “impressing upon some governments not to host Sudanese President Al-Bashir” pointing out that Malawi’s Joyce Banda was granted a “large financial package from the World Bank barely 48 hours after refusing to host Al-Bashir.”
