Sudan rejects any extension of UNMIS mandate without its approval – FM
May 1, 2011 (KHARTOUM) — Sudan’s foreign ministry rejected any extension of the mandate of United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) beyond next July without its approval.
The Council also asked Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon, to submit a report by 16 May on the post-independence options for a UN presence.
The 15 members council motivated its decision by the recent fighting within South Sudan between the regular troops and rebel groups and the growing tension in Abyei area ahead of South Sudan independence next July.
“The renewal of the UNMIS mandate requires consultation and agreement (of the concerned parties),” said the spokesperson of the foreign ministry in Khartoum Khalid Moussa on Sunday.
He further stressed that the extension will not occur until after the end of the transitional period and the independence of the South.
Khalid went to speak about the circulation at the Security Council of a draft presidential declaration talking about the extension of UNAMIS mandate under Chapter Seven of the United Nations Charter.
The Chapter Seven allows the Security Council to “determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression” and to take military and nonmilitary action to “restore international peace and security.”
However, the Sudanese official went to remind that the UNMIS was established in 2005 under the chapter Six which requires the accord of the host country.
Atul Khare, Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, told the Security Council recently that key elements of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement may not be resolved before 9 July, date of the South Sudan independence.
He further stressed these disputes threaten to pull the parties back into open conflict.

Ya Khalid Mousa,
What do you mean by consultation with the host country? You don’t want the extension of the UNMIS? Demarcate the North-South border immediately, form Abyei Referendum Commission (ARC) immediately to conduct its referendum whether Abyei will remain in the North Sudan or go with the South Sudan where it has its historical roots, stop providing logistical support to Khartoum-backed militia generals refusing to accept elections results and the defecting ones who are attempting to create insecurity in the South Sudan, resolve the issue in Blue Nile and Southern Kordofan and all the other post-referendum issues need to be resolved immediately as we agreed upon on January 9, 2005 in Kenya. If you can do this over the next 61+ days, then UNMIS’s mandate will not be extended. Otherwise keep your mouth shut.

TO: United Nation Council and International Community.
You have let this Omar Ahmed Hassan al Bashir, the indicted man to enjoy even now he is thinking for another war crime to added it to what he had done recently years and I think you as the U.N. Body need to think very careful on this case. The man was been found guilty more than Libyan president unfortunately, the United Nation and the International Community seem not to take action seriously, this could come to define the role of the United Nation as a failure policy on Sudan’s case if not taking this indictment to face justice and most importantly, should International community turned their eyes away from the innocents which were murdered in Sudan.? Also if the International community not take action then, the dictatorship leaders will grow up and what I real mean is that, they will probably rejecting any International indictment partly, because they will says, United Nation have not taken any action on the Sudan’s case and it will be true if that question came.
Omar al Bashir did not satisfied at all for the killing that, he been done in Darfurian people and also he is still now playing a dirties game in arming militia against Southern Sudanese people and his Ideas was to murders none Arab as long as he wanted because he is unhuman guy who belief in killing throughtout in all these years.
The case for Abyei and the people of Abyei chiefdom, of the Dinka Ngok despite the disagreement between North Sudan and the SPLM, the ruling Party in Southern Sudan. By all accounts, the Abyei District is belong to Dinka Ngok chiefdom and all Sudanese people knows that, when the Former president Jaafar Mohmmed made transfered Abyei District to Central Sudan region, it was only Deng Kuol who signed fool, the chief of Abyei community without Nomads Arab tribe whoever claiming now they have right on the Abyei land owenership and they have no any rights whatsover in Abyei. The resource that are located in Abyei, they are belonging to the people of Abyei as well as the people of Bahr al Ghazal States and Southern Sudan as a whole, but the Idea from this NCP by telling Messriya to claim in Abyei it was just about oil and not the issue of land ownership.
The Southern Sudanese have the rights to take all resources located in Southern part which belonging to their lands without any question, because the North Sudan who dominated Sudan country for 55 years since they gained independence in 1956, they have been misusing the oil to buy weapon for war against its Southern Sudanese citizensi instead the resources were supposed to be used for more development project such as Hospitals, schools, job opportunities and Roads things that, would have been benefiting citizens in the nation thus, they didn’t want to do that and so there is no way for them to claim any single item at this moment.
The bottomline is that, United Nation and International community must not allow Omar al Bashir to create another new war on Southern Sudan. Now it appear that, Omar al Bashir is threatened Southern Sudan and others regions who might have same rights as a human being to decide and vote for something they would like to choose for example, South Kordofan citizens and other who will be interesting between two nations, the Southern Sudan and the North Sudan to have a rights to go to what part they like most and indeed, they need International community to protect them. If United Nation absence then, those rights will be turn down by this dictatorship man. In the view of many Sudanese people, the presence of indictment Omar al Bashir is the most trouble thing and the North Sudan would be better off without Omar al Bashir and his alikes of NCP if the U.N. Are listening to do that.
