By Roba Gibia
September 11, 2007 (CAIRO) — Sudanese presidential advisor and prominent member of the Sudan people’s Liberation Movement (SPLM), Mansour Khaled, has warned that failure of the CPA implementation will affect the whole African continent.
In a meeting with the members of the Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS) office in Cairo last Sunday, Mansour Khaled, underlined the importance of the speech delivered by the SPLM leader and southern Sudan president, Salva Kiir, during a meeting last week with the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon in Juba.
He said that Salva Kiir focused his speech on the success or failure of Sudan in implementing peace agreement, and if failed it will affect African continent from Atlantic Ocean to Indian Ocean especially Eastern Africa, in addition to the Darfur crisis. The first vice-president added that solution of Darfur crisis has to come up from the worrying parties, and its continuation will have negative impact on the Naivasha peace agreement.
In this context, the Presidential Advisor said that the SPLM asserted to the UN Secretary General in Juba its commitment to implement the peace agreement to the letter without abandoning any article and with absolute responsibility, and said that in the coming couple of weeks SPLM will be more active from the past in regard to the structural organization and influence.
Dr. Mansour Khaled expressed his happiness about the launching of the Mission, and said this came about as a result of comprehensive peace agreement implementation between the SPLM and NCP.
Before leaving the GoSS Mission Office, Dr. Mansour Khaled was greeted by the Sudanese community whom are streaming daily to the Liaison Office in great numbers to be repatriated to Southern Sudan, Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile.
