Salva Kiir says northern Sudan making unity less attractive
November 15, 2008 (JUBA) — The President of Southern Sudan government Salva Kiir Mayadrit blamed its peace partner, the National Congress Party, for not contributing to economic development in the semi-autonomous region saying it makes unity less attractive.
Salva Kiir made his remarks during a meeting with the visiting Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak who was in Juba on November 10 for the first time.
Kiir told Mubarak that the self determination is a constitutional right of southern Sudan and Abyei people however the priority here should be unity. “This should be achieved by correcting whatever mistakes had previously been made” and development should be brought to the south during the six-year interim period between the signing of the CPA in 2005 and the date of the referendum in 2011.
“So far almost nothing had been done” Kiir told Mubarak, said Ayom wol the press secretary of the southern Sudan government president.
Last Monday visit is the first visit to southern Sudan of an Egyptian president since 1962 where president Jamal Abdel Nasser visited Juba. Before to arrive to Juba held talks in Khartoum with the Sudanese president Omer Al-Bashir.

Hi southerners
Visit means nothing because anyone can visit a bathroom to deposite waste in order to relieve himself and the poor toilet benefit nothing from the visit rather than to lose its water contain.
So if Mubarak visited Juba for the good of south Sudan people, he need to show us by action which is not limited to
1. Pressure his friend Omar Bashier to stop his dictatorial characters against southerners through different approaches.
2. He should encourage investments in south Sudan through the projects that benefit south Sudan people not Egyptians alone or his arab friends in the notth.
3. He should recognize southsudan as the masters of River Nile water rather than arabs in the north.
4. He should end his support to the arabs in the north and begin attractive and genuine bilateral relationship with south Sudan.
5. He has to instruct his brutal police officers to stop harassing Southerners who flet the civil war and now still trap in Egypt.
And by achieve these all will be good between southerners and Egyptians.
I hope all work
God bless

Mr son of Mayadrit if this is what your have in mind, then am always with you in every point. In fact none of us should be persuaded by the savagery arabs, it is un wise for us to work for unity while those terrorists group of Notorious Criminal Part (NCP) are planning for dangerous extraordary. This is what am expecting from you Mr son of Mayadrit and am always with you if you keep this in every’s life. Don’t both yourself with him or even attending his fake meeting, i understand that he is boiling his brains about how to eliminate the GOss ministers. Be wise and carefully in this area we are behind you son of Mayadrit.Today i appreciate your point of view because logic is always on the right route to peace, democracy and unity in South. It is time to be confident and ambitious like logic is always conscience and prudent in view.

Dear President, the NCP has nothing to do with the development retardation in the South, the problem is the BIG CROCODILES that have open their mouths outside the river and wanted to swallow every thing alive here in the South. I think if those crocodiles have not been made to return to the water where they can open their mouths and allow all the fish to enter into their stomach to satisfy their hunger, then nothing will change event if Bashir added another 25 percents in to 50 percents So that we have 75 percents share of oil revenues.
