Mbeki Discusses Preparation for the Talks between Sudan and South Sudan

Former South African President, Chairman of the African Panel, Thabo Mbeki arrived in Khartoum yesterday at the head of the high level of the African Union Executive Committee.
Mbeki engaged in discussions with the government on compromise proposals he carried to resolve outstanding issues between the Sudan and South Sudan, in preparation for discussions between the two sides that were expected to begin last Tuesday, but the stall of the technical committees’ talks prevented the departure of the government delegation to Juba.
Mbeki is expected to deliver the compromise proposals to the President of the government Political Committee by, State Minister of the Presidency, Idris Abdulgadir.
Spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Al-Ebeid Morawah affirmed, in press statements yesterday, that Mbeki will present compromise proposals on outstanding issues between the Sudan and South Sudan, and will seek to prepare for the talks to be held between the (ministerial committees) between the two countries before leaving to Juba.
The Government delegation was scheduled to leave to Juba last Tuesday to complete negotiations on outstanding issues but the technical committees there did not reach an agreement.
Morawah revealed that the departure of the delegation to Juba linked to the creation of progress on the issues addressed by the technical committees.
