Egypt PM to visit Juba in the coming weeks
September 12, 2010 (KHARTOUM) – The Egyptian Prime minister Ahmed Nazif plans to visit the Southern Sudan capital of Juba in late September or early October, according to report on Egyptian media.
The committee will reportedly hold its preparatory session in Khartoum but the first session will take place in Juba.
Both countries will focus on issues related to trade and investments as well as preparations for the January 2011 referendum in South Sudan.
Last July, Egypt gave South Sudan a $300 million grant for building potable water complexes, drilling 30 wells for underground water, setting up river ports and upgrading electricity and water networks.

There is very little regard relationship for these few days.
relationship between the South Sudan and Egypt?
Can they answer these questions:
1. What is the historical background of the two countries.
2.What natural resources have been available in each country? Have resources or land been the basis for the relationship?
during our hard time, nobody came for help, now we have many suitors competing for south Sudan.

I know that possible emergence of a new state along the Nile is not in the Egyptians’ best interest. Nevertheless, independence of South Sudan is inevitable, South Sudan is going to have a share of the Nile water, Egyptians’ monopoly of the Nile water will remarkably recede, our relations with Egypt will remain warm, if they like, and if they not, who cares? The Nile has been there before both Egyptians and South Sudanese were created. God did not make a mistake to let the Nile pass through South Sudan, did He?
I am saying all this, because, much as you think that Egypt is interested in diplomacy with Sudan, the real motive is the Nile question.
