The SPLM ended today the 5th SPLM Political Bureau Meeting to discuss outstanding issue in the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement as well as other pending political issues.

Speaking at a press briefing at the end of the two-day meeting on Tuesday, the SPLM Secretary General Pagan Amum said the row over the referendum bill should be settled before the end of the first half of September.

He added the SPLM political bureau agreed to be prudent and rational in its relations with the National Congress Party until the run of 2011 referendum on southern Sudan self determination.

Amum said the meeting discussed the outcome of trilateral talks between the SPLM, NCP and USA in Washington in July, the Sudan foreign policy, SPLM foreign policy, and the bill of laws that supposed to amend and brought in line with the CPA and the interim constitutions.

Among the other pending issues between the NCP and SPLM besides the southern Sudan referendum, the meeting discussed the referendum bills for Abyei, and Poplar Consultations in Nuba Mountains, and Blue Nile.

Also the SPLM Political Bureau showed concerns over the delay of laws relating to democratic transformations in the Sudan such as the states security.

Also the results of the fifth census were among the issues discussed as the leadership explored alternatives ways to conduct elections without using the controversial census results.

    Well done job by the SPLM Political Bureau figures that they deliberated on contentious outstanding and political issues between the NCP and SLPM regarding implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement that brought to halt the longest civil war in Africa.
    It’s of prime concern to have mentioned controversial census results usage at upcoming elections, referendum bill passing,popular consultation on Nuba Mountain and Blue Nile, then referendum bill on Abyei.

    However, the Bureau missed to mention the delay of demarcating the North-South border that determine where the south begin. this is the crucial point in the implementation of CPA and the only prime key to self determination.
    Hope you have not forgotten that! SPLM Oyee!!!1

    But, what are the outcomes of the meeting ?? And to all of you this web site writers and you brother /sister Ayok, please be advised to use logical political commends whenevery you want to commend than to teach yourself insultings and discrimination commends you use to be a writers or political analyst.

    Be aware of one thing, political differences among different political parties are and should not be taken as a matters of survival for competition than they are a learning differences that can shape the governing system of certain country for reforms to democracy. And that help the ruling party change its political system to a democratic government if and if only they are able to learn from their mistakes.

    So please take a good correction from your comments and thank you

    I think Mr Kiir Mayardit is right to remain clam in Southern sudan Capital juba for the time being untill 20011 southern Sudan referendum completion.Otherwise, his being in Khatoum is totally outrage and we don’t want confusion from what is so-call NCP political choke.the representative of SPLM/A who are now in Capital Khatoum are enough to monitor what is going on and that is it.No more persuasion and political blind to Souhern Sudanese again. Please you Mr kiir mayardit, listen, political pampering is over and you remain on ever political cruel in front of what is so-call NCP on behalf of miserable Suthern Sudanese and God of Southern Sudanese who created them to be in that land will help you to get for them their right instead of listening political rubish from evil NCP.They are paling game and that game please Mr Kiir, no referee to monitor it and you don’t bother to envolve in that dirty game.

    Let’s hope and wait to listen the message brought by USA enov to Sudan. Let’s assumed that the USA enov brought positive message whch may be include romoval of Sudan from Torrorist list.

    Thanks.

    Simon Lok.
