"No Kiir Apology letter to President Obama", information minister JUBA, 7 August 2012 - The government has dismissed reports published in US based newspaper - MacClatchy that President Kiir had written a letter of apology to President Barack Obama allegedly for denying support to the Sudan People’s Liberation Army- North (SPLM-N).
The article written by one Alan Boswell claimed that President Kiir had written a letter to President Obama accepting support to the SPLM-N. “In that letter, [President] Kiir wrote that he did know about his military’s support to the Sudanese rebels, but he could not admit that to Obama because his advisers were in the room and they did not know he was aware of that support”, claimed Boswell in his Thursday MacClatchy newspaper article. “This is not true, there is no such a letter written by President Kiir to President Obama in regards to an apology”, asserted Dr Barnaba Marial Benjamin, the official government spokesperson.

[Photo: Matata Safi] Dr. Benjamen, who is also the minister for Information and Broadcasting in the government of the Republic of South Sudan, slammed the writer as being an enemy of peace. “President Kiir has been always saying that we (government of South Sudan) are not supporting SPLM-N, the government’s position has always been that South Sudan through its President can only help if President Bashir takes an initiative for peaceful negotiations with the rebel in South Kordofan and Blue Nile as provided for by the Security Council Resolution 2046 but not to be involved militarily. No”, Dr. Benjamin told Sudan Radio Service in an interview on Monday. He underscored the visit of the US secretary of state Hillary Clinton to Africa’s newest country. He went further to say that the relation between the two governments is very strong. He said a lot of developmental support related issues were discussed in the meeting of Clinton with President Kiir. He added that America has been with South Sudan and continues to be, particularly in helping to settle matters of dispute with Sudan.

She explained that Norway is currently working on capacity building more particularly on petroleum revenue management, electricity and economic statistics. The outgoing ambassador made these remarks yesterday in her farewell meeting with the minister for Information and Broadcasting, Dr Barnaba Marial Benjamin three years of service in the country.

Dr Benjamin said the printing press donated by the Norwegian government is the first modern printing press ever to be installed in South Sudan which he said will contribute much to the national economy following petroleum which contributes 98% of the economy. Further, the minister explained that this is not the first offer to be given but Norway was standing besides South Sudan during the time of the struggle even when South Sudan was having no friends. This will be the second printing press in the country following old-fashioned printer of the private Citizen daily newspaper. South Sudan has a lot of newspapers but most of them are printed from the neighboring countries of Kenya, Uganda and Egypt due to lack of an efficient printer. Reported by Martin Jada Gabriel, NASS Oil deal reached in the Addis Ababa talks JUBA, 6 August 2012 - Nearly two days after the expiry of the UNSC deadline, Sudan and South Sudan have reached a major breakthrough on oil as part of efforts to resolve all outstanding post independence issues. A government official has announced. Pagan Amum, South Sudan’s lead negotiator at the African Union mediated talks in Addis Ababa- Ethiopia told the press on Saturday that Sudan agreed to take an average of US $9.48 per barrel for the landlocked country to export its oil through Port Sudan. “Under this deal, the Republic of South Sudan will be paying US $8.4 for GNPOC pipeline and $6.5 for Petrodar pipeline”, he announced. This is only $1 more per barrel than Republic of South Sudan had previously paid, he said. This deal comes barely a day after the visit of US Secretary of State Mrs Hillary Clinton to the newest African country. In her keynote speech, Mrs Clinton urged the two sides to reach a timely agreement on all the outstanding issues adding that their economic viability rests on resolving their differences. The crude over oil transit fee brought the two countries to near a full- blown war in April this year that prompted the United Nation Security Council to issue resolution 2046 that gave a three-month window for the Sudan and South Sudan to resolve their differences. Mr Amum [Photo: Matata Safi] Previously Sudan demanded that South Sudan pay US $36 to have its oil transported through its oil infrastructure to reach the international markets, a fee South Sudan rejected outright. Including processing fees paid to oil companies, South Sudan will now pay a total of US $9.10 for petrodar and US $11.0 for GNPOC. South Sudan has also offered Sudan US $3.028 billion in direct Transitional Financial Assistance (TFA) that will be paid over three and half years to reduce on the financial gap resulting from the loss of revenues as a result of South Sudan’s breakaway. “This short team assistance is part of a comprehensive package designed to ensure peace and security, respect for territorial integrity and cooperation” said Mr Amum. As to when South Sudan will resume oil production, Mr Amum said the country is expected to reach production levels at shutdown point by September. “We have been informed by our oil companies that our 80 percent from Unity state will be able to resume by September”, he said. He added that the companies will need three to four weeks to get back to production. He however said the two sides will be meeting again to finalize the details of the oil deal and other issues if the production is to commence. “We will be returning to Ethiopia soon to finalize the details of the oil deal and conclude additional agreements addressing all the outstanding issues of Security, border both claimed and disputed the status of Abyei among others remarked Amum. South Sudan shut down its oil production in January this year in protest to Sudan’s decision to confiscate its oil entitlements for export after the two sides failed to agree as to how much South Sudan pays for transporting it oil through Sudan’s oil infrastructure. Reported by Matata Safi Acting Minister for Labour and Public Service hails RSS/IGAD initiative JUBA, 6 August 2012 - The Republic of South Sudan (RSS) has benefited greatly from the RSS/IGAD Regional Initiative for Capacity Building Initiative which is now in its second year of implementation. The Acting Minister for Labour, Public Service and Human Resource Development, Mr Kwong Danhier Gatlwak, said Civil Service Support Officers (CSSOs) under the IGAD Initiative had proved very useful to the government ministries, commissions and agencies where they were attached. Gatlwak said the CSSOs from Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda had played critical roles in improving the delivery of public services in strategic planning and healthcare among other areas. Gatlwak said there had initially been misinformation that CSSOs had come to take up jobs meant for locals, adding that the officers from the three IGAD countries were in South Sudan to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and skills to their counterparts after which they would return to their countries. “The initiative is being felt all over the civil service in South Sudan. The CSSOs are doing their best to serve our country by mentoring and coaching our civil servants,” he said, and cited the government hospital at Malakal in Upper Nile State where he said CSSOs had helped to improve services significantly. The Minister urged South Sudanese civil servants to ensure they learn from their IGAD counterparts. RSS/IGAD Project Executive Board members after the meeting held at a Juba hotel.

Among those who attended the meeting were Kenyan Assistant Minister for Public Service Aden Sugow, Ethiopian Ambassador to South Sudan, Fre Tesfamichael Tesfatsion, his Ugandan counterpart, Amb Busho Ndiyenka and IGAD Country Director Mohammed Abdel Rahman. Addressing the meeting, IGAD Project Manager Catherine Waliaula urged government institutions hosting the CSSOs to reduce the high staff turnover of local civil servants saying frequent transfers were adversely affecting knowledge transfer. Waliaula further called for improved coordination between the Ministry of Labour and Public Service which is steering the initiative and receiving institutions to facilitate the effective twinning of CSSOs and their South Sudanese counterparts. Waliaula said host institutions should also endeavour to provide adequate tools and equipment saying there were instances whereby CSSOs had been unable to contribute effectively due to shortage of working facilities. “There is also need for coordination within the government of RSS at both horizontal and vertical levels to ensure that all relevant institutions and personnel know the objectives and limits for the IGAD Project for example that IGAD does not provide hardware such as buildings and office equipment,” she said. The RSS/IGAD Initiative is funded by Norway through UNDP and has drawn 200 CSSOs from Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda who are twinned with their South Sudanese counterparts whom they mentor and coach. Also present at the meeting were UNDP Team Leader Amanda Serumaga, Ms Juliana Baffoe of the Norwegian Embassy and Labour and Public Service Undersecretary, Ms Angeth Acol De Dut.

Last week reports said Khartoum dropped oil fees to 32 from 36 dollars but the government in Juba has said this is still exorbitant.

Reported by Gabriel Lawrence ‘South Sudan has remained polio free’, health minister JUBA, 2 August 2012 - The national Ministry of Health in the government of the Republic South Sudan has refuted recent media reports of polio outbreak in the county. The minister for Health Dr. Micheal Milly Hussein on Tuesday 31st July while addressing the press in the ministry’s headquarters in Juba refuted media reports of polio outbreak as not true and assured the general public that the country has remained polio-free for more than three years since the last case was reported. “The Ministry of Health would like to re-assure the people of South Sudan and the entire polio eradication partnership in the country and the region alike that the recent media reports of polio outbreak in the South Sudan are false. The Ministry of Health would like to affirm that the Republic of South Sudan has remained polio free for more than three years”, Dr. Hussein reiterated. South Sudan’s last polio case was reported on 27th June 2009 from Aweil North County of Northern Bahr el Ghazal state. Dr. Hussein said the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) in the Ministry of Health in collaboration with partners like World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF), USAID, among others were able to implement all the recommendations of the Horn of Africa Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for sustaining a polio free South Sudan. He added that between 2010 and 2012, the country was able to reach a total of 3.3 million children under 5years under its four-round immunisation campaign of 2010 and 2011 against polio.

The health minister noted that since January 2012, 163 paralyzed children have been identified and none of the cases has been as a result of polio.
