January 27, 2016 (KHARTOUM) - Sudanese President Omer al-Bashir Wednesday
has ordered to open joint border with the neighbouring South Sudan .

The official news agency *SUNA* reported that the Bashir has issued a
presidential decree ordering to open the border with the South Sudan and
"directed the concerned authorities to take all the necessary measures for
the implementation of this decision on the ground".

Sudan closed its border with the South Sudan in June 2011, one month before
the formal declaration of independence.

At the time, the decision interved days after the start of a rebellion in
the South Kordofan by the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement North
(SPLM-N). Khartoum accused Juba of supporting the former members of the
ruling party in South Sudan.

Last week, Bashir directed to reduce the transit fees for the oil produced
in South Sudan. On Monday, President Salva Kiir responded by ordering his
army to withdraw from border with Sudan to 5 miles [8km].

Kiir further disclosed that he had dispatched a personal special envoy to
the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, to convey to President al-Bashir his desire
to normalise ties with Sudan.

Kiir also predicted that Bashir would direct to open the joint borders for
communications, trade and relationship between the peoples of the two, once
one, but split nations.

Last November the two countries agreed to reactivate the safe border
demilitarized zone agreed on 27 September 2012 and to deploy the UNISFA
supported joint monitoring force..

In the past, Khartoum refused to open the border, asking Juba to implement
the security agreement and to stop its support to Sudanese rebel groups.

   Good move by Bashir. North was an enemy during the war but you have
   moved beyond that and has recognized South Sudan as a nation. Now you treat
   South as a neighbouring country unlike our people in South Sudan government
   who demonize you day and night. God bless you. This decision will ease the
   suffering of our people in the borders. The East Africans have exploited us
   enough.

      You can’t allow yourself to lose focus of the wider picture anytime
      that your *enemy* does something ostensibly friendly or
positive. Khartoum
      has not recognized South Sudan as a Nation because it still occupies
      Southern territories — with some larger than Lebanon. Khartoum is not
      unduly demonized, in fact the opposite is true. You’re a Quisling, marie.

         Bravo pres. Omar al Beshir & pres. Salva Kiir! U two now deserve
         thank u! Oil transit fees reduced & borders opened, is a welcome news.
         Sudan & S. Sudan are historical biological nations that must
symbiotically
         live together. Ug’s pres. M7 is soon adding the salt.

            My msg to the top pyramid & lawmakers of S. Sudan is to
            pronounce ’ENOUGH IS ENOUGH FOR CORRUPTION, EMBEZZLEMENT,
NEPOTISM &
            IMPUNITY.’ It’s now time to remedy the nation for reasons
of successful
            plebiscite

         Oooops....Abyei of Dinka region is gone to Khartoum forever.

         This is the secret behind the quick speedy deal between Khartoum
         and Juba.

         I believe my source from Khartoum is right about this secret deal.

         Where is Deng Alor Kuol? A soon-to-be foreign minister with no
         constituency.

         What a country!

            Yes, Gatwech, you’re privy to the details of a ’secret’
            agreement between two governments. LOL! You don’t have a
’source’ in
            Khartoum, you desperate twat.

         Khent,

         That hardline approach won’t work, these days ’soft borders’ is
         the way to go. Even Israel is mooting establishing relationship with
         Bashir’s Sudan.

         Follow this link:

         South Sudan benefits nothing by remaining a sworn enemy to Sudan.

   While it is a welcome news. One would wonder why is this taking place
   now. Is it because of Kiir’s mistrust of Museveni? or a way of opening up
   for products from Khartoum due to insecurity in Equatoria that makes it
   hard for Bahr el Ghazal to have foodstuff from East Africa through its
   territory(Equatoria).

   So Omar al Bashir just reduced oil transit fees & excuse me reopened the
   borders which he determined to keep closed for five years? What did he got
   in return?
   We all heard that Mr. Kiir has ordered SPLA units around undemarcated
   borders b/n two nations to withdraw 8kms south. Is this another sell out
   deal like that of Panthou?

      Ayiu,

      Your Nyakiir Museveni has finally sold Abyei of Dinka region to
      President Bashir. This is the gist of this latest surprising quick deal.

      So stop going after the Nuer for no reason. Look from within.

      Ahahahaa...

      As Museveni changes his mind in favour of Dr. Riek Machar, Kiir is so
      desperate!

         Care to provide any concrete evidence that Museveni is actually
         favouring that traitor, Riek over that completely vacuous
twit, Salva Kiir?
         I’m expecting the absense of evidence, as usual.

   Kaguta Museveni, regardless of border.

   In the last two weeks, president Kiir, withdrawn SPLA forces from border
   to normalizes the relationship with Khartoum in order to easily the rebels
   life.
   Kiir, is a helper’s president for you South Sudanese and others Africans
   across the country.
   Let me advise you, Mr. Abyei, not sell by Kiir, you should to #Deng
   Majok reflects to #Deng Alor and #Luka Abuong about Abyei status.

   Arabs and my brothers Junubien will be good news but we will not allow
   them to cross the borders we control like Jau,Fungor,Kaunyaro,parts of Blue
   Nile, etc,Albashir will try to ask Kiir to touch us but will be very
   unfortunately,in conclusion all this will not work unless all crisis of
   Sudan and SS solve coz they have not stopped the issue of accusing each
   other of supporting the rebels.
