NCP: Selection of Amum to Head South Sudan Delegation Disappointing

Khartoum – Negotiation between government and South Sudan on impeding issues topped by oil is to kick off in Addis Ababa on Monday, said Spokesman of the ruling National Congress Party (NCP), Prof.  Ibrahim Ghandour on Friday. He unveiled that government backed by the US and some European countries attempted to lift the negotiations between the two sides to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to force government to yield to the pressure of foreign parties for the sake of South Sudan.

“We aren’t ready to yield to foreign agendas,” Ghandour told Radio Omdurman on Friday.
He announced that the negotiation will make no difference if South Sudan delegation chaired by Pagan Amum is stick to prevarication and procrastination experienced in previous negotiations, criticizing Amum’s overhasty statements upon Abyei issue, adding that Amum’s selection reveals lack of seriousness of South Sudan in reaching for final resolve, depicting Amum as ‘a warlord’ who is disable to take part in peaceful negotiations.
Ghandour explained that Amum has kept calling for war against Sudan, adding that rationalists in South Sudan should realize importance of peaceful resolve to all impeding issues. He further lauded positive stances taken by VP of South Sudan Riek Machar towards Sudan.
Ghandour ascribed intransigence of government of South Sudan to its failure in addressing critical situations and security threats overwhelming the new-born state from within, adding that the continuous criticism targeted against Sudan is not more than miserable attempt to create an imaginary enemy to divert citizens’ intention from internal problems.
Moreover, Ghandour criticized the US for lifting ban on arms exports to South Sudan, explaining that such step will encourage the new-born state to carry out further violations not only against Sudan but also against the rest of the countries across the region.
Ghandour confirmed Sudan Armed Force (SAF) readiness to prevent any attempt to be made by South Sudan to enter Abyei, calling for government of South Sudan to redouble efforts to embark on peaceful resolve on outstanding issues.
