Bashir’s visit is in his capacity as the President of the Republic of Sudan and also the presidential candidate for the dominant and ruling party, the National Congress Party (NCP) in the upcoming April elections.

The visit was announced to the Council of Ministers on Friday in Juba by his deputy, the First Vice President of the Republic of Sudan and President of the Government of Southern Sudan, Salva Kiir Mayardit.

According to the acting spokesperson of the government, Madut Biar Yel, Bashir during his visit will also travel to Torit, the state capital of Eastern Equatoria and Yambio, the state capital of Western Equatoria. He is also expected to visit Yei and Magwi counties in the Greater Equatoria states.

The visit is seen as a launch for his elections campaign in the South as the polling day is only five weeks away.

Bashir is touring the different Sudanese states calling for peace and development. This he was in El-Fasher and is expected to pay a visit to the other states during the coming weeks.

The dominant NCP, which said supporting Kiir’s candidature, has launched electoral campaigns in Jonglei and Upper Nile States for states’ governors and members of Juba and Khartoum chambers.

    He could have mentioned Dinkalands and Nuerlands also. The so called ghost of Sudan! Let him visit where he could but he should be careful not to touch anyone with his word especially members of rural community who do not benefit their deal with GOSS.

    That is a wondering statement ‘Bashir Call for Peace and Development’!

    It is too late for the out-going president to call for peace and development in a due month to go!

    Calling for Peace and Development should be left to be held by Mr. Yasir Armon the expected next winning candidate. Thank all by Kuer Dau Apai in Australia

    Omar Hassan We are delighted that you visited our land, which I thought it will not exist any more, but God has protected and the list goes on so far. Go tell your fellow Arabs that we deserve a state, we do not want to be under the umbrella of a corrupt government and opportunism that they do not bother people.

    If he comes in peace he is most welcome in south sudan, Omer bashir has to stick to the road map of CPA, make sure free democratic elections is carried out and also make sure referendum is carried out all in its time respectively, also make peace in Darfur, he has to correct his past mistakes and follow the correct path to peace and development, also respect of peoples rights, that is the only way omer bashir can fix his mess. let him come and see south sudan and not be afraid.
