US warns South Sudan on support to SPLM-N
November 21, 2011 (KHARTOUM) – South Sudan must cease any support it provides to Sudan People Liberation Movement North (SPLM-N) that is currently engaged in fighting with Khartoum in the border states of Blue Nile and South Kordofan, the United States said today.
The message was delivered to the South Sudan government during a visit by the White House Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough to Juba and Khartoum that started last week.
The US special envoy to Sudan, Princeton Lyman and the interim US Chargé d’Affaires in Khartoum Mary C. Yates’ also participated in the meetings that took place.
“In Juba, Mr. McDonough and Special Envoy Lyman addressed these same crises and the need to respect the sovereignty of Sudan, including by ending support for the Sudanese People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) in Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile,” said a statement released by the National Security Council spokesman, Tommy Vietor.
Both states border the newly independent state of South Sudan and their population largely fought alongside the south during Sudan’s north-south second civil war 1983-2005.
“They reiterated the United States’ deep concern over continuing fighting in Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile and the ongoing humanitarian crisis caused by the fighting, which is exacerbated by the Government of Sudan’s blocking of international humanitarian assistance to the civilian population,” Vietor said.
The statement out of Washington will likely provide a moral boost to Khartoum which has lodged two complaints this year with the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) claiming that Juba is aiding SPLM-N fighters.
Sudanese president Omer Hassan al-Bashir threatened that his country is running out of patience is prepared to go to war over South Sudan’s support to SPLM-N.
Sudan also accused the US of coordinating with the Government of South Sudan (GoSS) to condemn Khartoum in the UNSC. This came after United Nations said this month that Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) bombed a refugee camp inside South Sudan

I wonder if the US is getting their facts right! Obama Administration has become the stupid cow that easily manipulated by the Khartoum regime. How the US warns when the NCP has committed (still) atrocities in the Blue Nile and South Kordofan? What measures US may take to stop these atrocities from happening? Isn’t Darfur a prime example for the US to learn from! Lord have mercy…

If not because the Arabs are deciding to introduce murder of civlian in all conflicting regions in Sudan,Why they stop hummanitarian support to civilian who are suffering and dying in Blue nile, Kordufan, Abyei and Darfur?Is because they know that even if the Sudanese are killing themselves and finish the Arab should be happy that they realise their goal.

US should warns both sides if it needs to do so. It is extremely dangerous statement by the US. This statement will boost the war like attitudes of Khartoum to step up more wars. US should never release such statement. Sudan has been supporting rebels in South since CPA and currently yet, US never said anything.

Those are our brothers and we will continue to help them in one way or the other. It’ll will be like a betrayal if we don’t help them because they fought along side us. We can’t sleep in the room while they are sleeping in the rains.

I think US government is facetious, why the US responded to South Sudan auxiliary SPLM-N? While South Sudan is constantly cantankerous about Khartoum patronage up South Sudan rebels but no respond. Anyway there no way for us to sabbatical our brothers’ anguish and vanishing from this fake Arabs criminals. We will not leave our brother of Blue Nile, South Kordofan, and Nuba Mountain alone no matter

US should be serious to stop Khartoum first from finish those innocent civilian in Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile rather than to warn South Sudan without evidence for that support.

The so called US must politise both countries on there soveriegnity respect rather than supporting one view of the country (sudan)
we south have the right to support the people of blue nile, southern kordofan becouse they are our brothers who fought with us in the liberation which was for new sudan of inclussiveness not for exclussiveness, freedom development, juctics,equall rights for all.

It is very unfortunate that rumours emanating from the Sudan government accusing South Sudan of support to SPLM-N triger warning from the Obama administration while factual evidences presented by the government of SOuth Sudan such as the capture of SAF Helicopter, discovery of anti tank mines and amunitions bearing marks used by SAF with Athor’s forces triger silence from the Obama administration

God have mercy on South Sudan – this black African nation whose citizens in all ten states do not have the same right for existence as Arabs or any other race.
We were voiceless but our God heard us, and continue to be voiceless, but the soverign God will not forget us. God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, bless your sons and daughters at the border lines of South Sudan – AMEN

People, we cant keep treating Juba like the victim, when it is now the aggressor. Khartoum is evil, yes. But the sad fact is that Juba and SPLM-N resisted any effort to deal with the 40k SPLA soldiers stuck in the North after independence. If they had been cantoned or demobilized this wouldnt be happening. Juba is to blame for the current state of conflict. Khartoum is to blame for its tactics.

US need to reconsidered its policies toward Africans, the regime is waging campaign of genocide in the Sudan for so long, yet we didn’t see any tangible from the U.S administration of ending genocide only few handful of advocate groups tried in their own but fail to get support, if there was Arab springs in Egypt they, Tunisia, Libya they were quick to response.

Even if the Government of the Republic of South Sudan cut military supply to the movement in the North as it has been accused with, this will not deterrent the SPLM-N to fight for their genuine cause. It should be suggested to US to mediate the conflict at the same level as it did between the former SPLA/M and NCP instead.

Of course the international law does not yet cover Abyei interference ya mohamed!

What action has he taken against Khartoum for bombarding South Sudan-worst of all refugee! Only to react to rumors South Sudan!
He would have dealt with Khartoum before Libya, but because in Sudan, its the African population who are crushed brutally by the Khartoum
