February 7, 2016 (KHARTOUM) - South Sudan has called for resolving all
outstanding issues of the cooperation agreements signed with Sudan
during the meeting of the Joint Political and Security Committee
(JPSC) scheduled to be held this month.

In September 2012, both Sudan and South Sudan signed a series of
cooperation agreements, which covered oil, citizenship rights,
security issues, banking, border trade among others.
In March 2013, the two countries signed an implementation matrix for
these cooperation agreements, but only the oil deal was implemented.
Khartoum blames Juba for ignoring the other deals.
South Sudan’s deputy head of mission to Khartoum, Kow Nuk said all
outstanding issues would be implemented as one package, adding the
implementation of the agreement will help his country overcome the
consequences of the armed conflict.
Nuk told the semi-official Sudan Media Center (SMC) Sunday that the
committees would meet to determine the zero line and the border
crossing between the two countries, saying those committees include
representatives from the ministries of defence, interior, trade and
finance besides the bureaus of taxation and customs.
On Tuesday, Sudan’s higher committee for the implementation of the
cooperation agreements headed by the First Vice President Bakri Hassan
Salah renewed call for the implementation of the cooperation
agreement, saying it would ask Juba to hold a meeting for the JPSC.
Last December, the third meeting of the JSPC which was scheduled to be
held in Khartoum was postponed for internal Southern Sudanese security
reasons.
South Sudan broke away from Sudan in July, 2011, following a
referendum held in January of that.

We really don’t have any problem with southerners,you see how they
reacted happily and excitedly when Sudan opened its border and allowed
the free movement between the two sides! Sudan is treating Jonobean
who fled the war in the south not as refugees although they are!
Mr. Kiir should act wisely and eject out his dogs (SPLA-N) from
the south otherwise will pay high price!
