Salva Kiir arrived yesterday evening to Khartoum where he held discussions with the SPLM leaders who were detained briefly last Monday after staging a protest outside the National Assembly in favor of democratic reforms and CPA implementation.

The First Vice-President regretted the illegal arrest saying “the NCP leadership has been resisting constitutional obligations by using their mechanical majority in both organs of government to pursue their own political agenda.”

However, in remarks he made Wednesday in Juba, Kiir rejected slogans for the fall of the government of President Bashir saying that his fate is linked to the Sudanese President. He also said that his party through demonstration meant to voice out their position but have no intention to overthrow him.

Following his arrival Salva Kiir met this morning with the leading members of his party in Khartoum before to first meeting with the president Bashir. However the two
resumed their talks this evening but nothing was made public.

The SPLM members, who had been detained, reportedly asked Kiir to raise their arrest and beats during the meeting with Al-Bashir. They also said the responsible should face justice.

The SPLM asked its peace partners since October to set a calendar for the bills dealing with the national security law, southern Sudan referendum and popular consultations.

Talks on referendum bill, between the two partners are deadlock as they failed to agree on the issue.

Sudanese government had planned today to include the referendum bill in the agenda of the cabinet meeting but the boycott of the SPLM ministers prevented the discussion.

The ruling NCP is insisting on a two-thirds turnout for the referendum to be valid but the SPLM rejects the proposed percentage.

Both sides appear to be in agreement on the 51% ‘Yes’ votes to declare that Southerners chose independence.

    They are in their weakest position, exhausted, and vulnerable. Yet, willing to test your strengh by beating up your comrades, pagan and yasir Araman. But formation of the SPLA military council was a very strong message to criminals in khartoum. It means your tanks are ready to roll over to khartoum when necessary. You deserved my appreciation Mr. president salva kiir, and thank you so much for your courage.

    Please president Kiir,you cannot keen your Child without any severe reasons.

    tell Bashir that now a days the Southerns are independent children at moment. this is no longer the reign of 1982 downwards which can go and beat about the bush.

    each and every one one has now learned including the unborn fetus from their mothers womb.

    we are now in different generation and there will be no change anymore.
    From now onwards, we must be patriotic to our nation that is Southern Sudan.please brothers/sisters lets just struggle now to freed Southern Sudan from Arabs.

    Mr.Moreno Ocampo is just adding more salt on the wound which is considered as the first aid of people in the Village not in town areas where there is enough social services like hospital and other things.
    Why do you pressures Mr.Bashir and you are not fulfilling your promises to take him to be prosecuted.By making him to continue ruling Sudan,it implies that you are giving headache to the Sudanese people especially the Southerners.
    whatever he does is all the time against the Southerners.were this the International Criminal Court which prosecute Mr. Sadam Hussien Of Iraq.if Sadam can face justice,why not Bashir too? Please and please take action now.
