Egypt warns against partition talks in Sudan
May 22, 2009 (CAIRO) – The Egyptian government said it will “stand firmly” against views calling for the partition of Sudan.
The spokesperson of the Egyptian foreign ministry Hossam Zaki told reporters that some unspecified parties are calling for dividing Sudan “as a solution to the crisis”.
“We are opposed to them [unspecified parties] trying to force their views” he said.
It is not clear whether Zaki was referring to internal parties or external ones.
South Sudan is entitled to a referendum in 2011 to vote whether they want to secede or remain part of Sudan. Observers say that Cairo is uncomfortable with a separate state in South Sudan over worries that it will affect its share in the Nile waters.
Egypt has sought to inaugurate several development and educational projects in South Sudan. Last year the Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak paid a visit to South Sudan, which is the first for an Egyptian head of state since 1962.

Egypt warns against partition talks in Sudan
The people of South Sudan are the only ones who can decide their fate. No power under the sun has the right to tell us what to do. We cannot live as a second class citizens in a country that we belong. For that reason, the history of Sudan must be rewritten. It does not matter whether it pleases any body or not, the people of South Sudan must decide their own future.
