Sudan and South Sudan Agree to Demarcate Border
Delegations Khartoum and Juba agreed to immediately demarcate the border between the two countries in a bid to settle a number of pending issues they started to discuss before the independence of South Sudan in July 2011.
Border demarcation, oil, external debt, citizenship, security arrangements are the main issues of disputes between the two countries. The parties failed to reach an agreement over oil-sector management but this failure is also symptomatic to the breakdown on the other files, particularly the border and Abyei.
Yahya al-Hussein, a member of Sudan’s negotiating team told reporters in Khartoum on Thursday that the two countries agreed to start immediately to draw the northern border of the breakaway South Sudan with the Sudan and to end it within three months.
He said that this demarcation will not include five areas disputed by Khartoum and Juba, adding talks will continue over it.
