South Sudan, Sudan urged to reach agreement
Sunday, 15 July 2012 04:02 Lagu Francis South Sudan >>> . Deputy UN Secretary General Asha-Rose Mtengeti Migiro has urged South Sudan and Sudan to make immediate compromises on key issues in order to meet the timelines set in the AU Peace and Security Council Road Map and UN Security Council Resolution 2046. The deputy UN Chief made the appeal on Saturday while addressing the AU Summit in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa. Mtengeti said if the two countries agree on the safe demilitarized border zone that will operationalize the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism, they can be able to finalize other remaining issues and reduce tension. However, she said the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan are restraining their respective forces along the border to maintain relative calm. According to Mtengeti, the gesture of restraining the respective forces shows the two countries have faith in the Addis Ababa talks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
