Arab league to hold investment conference in South Sudan
February 13, 2008 (CAIRO) — Arab League chief, and the President of southern Sudan government have agreed to hold an investment conference in southern Sudan to attract Arab funds into the region.
Musa said the Arab world had a wealth of cash and could invest in southern Sudan which was rich in natural.
The conference is aimed at attracting Arab investments and encouraging the private sector to invest in southern Sudan, added the AL chief.
Musa added the unity of Sudan encourages Arabs to invest in the country, particularly in southern Sudan.
Kiir, who left here on Wednesday after a two-day visit to Egypt, also held talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak earlier in the day.
During the talks with Mubarak, Kiir believed that peace and development are correlated, saying a united Sudan could survive when its northern and southern regions had equal shares of Arab investments.
Mubarak promised to do what he could to call on Egyptian businessmen to invest in development projects in southern Sudan, Kiir said.
Kiir stressed that national unity should be within a viable and attractive framework, which is basically the job of the national unity government in Khartoum.

Well, it is not a bad news to make a tie with Arab League. But again Mr Salva Kiir, be very careful with the interest being driven by Arabs (if there is an interest with them at all). I know educated class doesn’t give out any material without any interest in any circumstances.
The insight here is about our resources especially the Nile water, and the question of Unity of Sudan. Mr President, nothing of the above points is interesting to the people of Southern Sudan, that could let our virgin country be exploited by Arab.
Let me remind you guys that Amri Musa (the Secretary General of Arab League) is a again an Egyptian, therefore he can work for the interest of Egyptians (exploitation of our resources).
I am not in any way against the deal, but I caution you guys to be mindful about the insight. I urge you to carry out a thorough investigation before any deal with Arabs (the killers).
