June 24, 2013, (KHARTOUM) - The African Union Peace and Security
Council (AUPSC) has informed Khartoum that progress of its talks with
Juba was excluded from its agenda in Monday’s meeting, a Sudanese
diplomat said today.

The deputy head of Sudan’s mission at the AU Abdullah Wadi told the
pro-government Ashorooq TV that the chairman of the AU High-Level
Implementation Panel (AUHIP) Thabo Mbeki was unable to brief the
council as originally planned.
Wadi said that Mbeki was forced to devote attention to the recent
crisis that erupted between the two neighboring states after Sudan.
He said that AUHIP chair is still awaiting formal responses from the
two states to his proposals to defuse the crisis.
"Recent developments have changed the situation .. and Mbeki does not
have anything to present to the AUPSC".
Khartoum said this month it would close within 60 days two pipelines
carrying oil exports from landlocked South Sudan to Port Sudan unless
Juba cut ties with Sudanese rebels. The south denies doing so, and
accuses Sudan in turn of backing insurgents on its soil.
The Sudanese diplomat said the AU body is waiting to see the fate of
the new initiative and the implementation of previous cooperation
agreements.
