Sudan’s VP postpones trip to Egypt indefinitely
July 24, 2011 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese Vice President Ali Osman Mohamed Taha has put off his visit to Egypt indefinitely, it was announced here today.
The two officials were both of the point of view that the “temporary postponement” will provide more time to ministers from both sides and joint committees which will help achieve maximum benefits, SUNA reported.
This is the second delay this month made to Sudan’s VP visit to Cairo. He was to be accompanied by ministers of foreign affairs, international cooperation, information, agriculture and transportation.
It is likely that visit was delayed as Egypt grapples with demonstrations that saw a number of clashes between military police and protesters demanding more freedom for the civilian government, an end to military trials and a timetable the completion of reforms.
The unrest is the epicentre of protests that ousted president Hosni Mubarak last February.
Egyptian Prime Minister reshuffled his cabinet last week and promised to speed up trials and political reforms.

Sudan’s VP postpones trip to Egypt indefinitely
VP Riek Machar needs to take sometimes in the country before travelling abroad again to try to convince many of his followers in Unity State to respect his power and government.
His backyard his full of rebellion and this is undermining his ability to represent our nation abroad.

Nhomlada,
What connect the RoSS vice president Dr. Riak Machar with Sudan vice president Ali Osman Taha cancel visit to Cairo? We should forget the past and let’s move on to develop our country, which we have been fighting for decades. Nhomlada, you might be a Riak Machar hater because of what he did to SPLM back in 1991, but we should forget and let the past go even though they’re painful to forget.
