Ethiopia rejects Sudan’s ambassador nominee: report
August 11, 2011 (KHARTOUM) – The Ethiopian government has reportedly rejected Sudan’s nominee for ambassador, a newspaper said today.
Al-Khitim has recently held the ambassadorial post in Cairo before it was decided that he would be head Sudan’s mission in Addis Ababa.
But the Sudanese foreign ministry spokesperson Al-Obaid Marawih told Al-Sahafa that Khartoum will submit a new nominee after it was understood that Ethiopia’s delay was a subtle message on their disapproval of Al-Khitim.
It is not clear why Ethiopia would reject Al-Khitim who was Sudan’s defense minister in the 90’s and governor of El-Gezira state. He is a close friend of president Omer Hassan al-Bashir.
Al-Khitim also enjoyed good relationship with the Egyptian government under deposed president Hosni Mubarak.
Egypt, Ethiopia and seven other countries through which the Nile river passes have been locked in more than a decade of contentious talks driven by anger over the perceived injustice of a previous Nile water treaty signed in 1929.
The major Arab power, threatened by rising temperatures and a growing population, is almost entirely dependent on the Nile for its water and has been nervously watching hydropower dam projects take shape in upriver nations.
Ethiopia is building a multi-billion dollar mega dam on its share of the river, which accounts to eighty-five percent of the Nile’s water.

Ethiopia government have right to reject them.
Khartoum behave badly with neighbor countries and It will be a good Idea for Ethiopia government to cut off relationship with Khartoum government because the three soldiers of Ethiopian U.N. Peacekeeper Forces would have not dies if the SAF did not block fly.
Ethiopia government must cut off their friendship with Omar al Bashir, this indictment man belief in killing African people and every none Arab must watch out. This Khartoum government and their stupid leaders must be isolated from the rest of African societies and they need punishment in many ways. Please Ethiopian people don’t Khartoum ambassador put his foot in Ethiopia land period.

Ethiopia has no choices to cut relationship with sudan. Sudan contributes a lot to the ethiopia economy. They need Port Sudan, sudan supplies them with 60 percent of their gas..

The Sudan’s government should understand why the government of Ethiopia rejected the Khartoum’s candidate Abdel-Rahman Sir al-Khitim as Sudan’s nominee for ambassador to Addis Ababa?
This didn’t come out of nothing, but because of their country men (Soldiers) who had been killed due to Khartoum’s barbaric act on the Ethiopian soldiers.
Sudan worsening themselves and still earlier. They will fact more than unexpected just give a look.
Thanks,

Ethiopian Government knew that Khartuom Government was just a rat trape, unrelaible, skeptic and notworthy at all. This was proved by trapping Ethiopian Peacekeepers with a land mines and denial of Medivac to Addis- ababa for treatment till three more soliders died in Abyei. Ethiopia may even reject the new nominee from Sudan.

This is message from Dinka Twic East Civil Group. We the Dinka Twic East are not involved in that apology by Vice President Riek Machar. The apology he has done was for Dinka Bor only. Also his apology was a setup by Dinka Bor people who trying to take credits or to discard Dinka Twic East true identity.
We the Dinka Twic East people, we are still waiting our true apology from Dr. Riek Machar, and it could be done in Panyagor, the headquarter of Twic East County. That’s where the incident of the 1991 occurred. For those people who done know the name of that incident, please it is calls “Southeastern Dinka Massacre or in actuality when it comes to really title based on impacted people. It is calls Dinka Twic East Massacre. Dinka Twic East tribe is different from Dinka Bor. They have different characters and dialects as well. It is true even God (Nhialic) knows it.
Please be aware that, this website always omits some information inside any message the think is not in there interests. Also the website is owned by Dinka Bor people and Dinka Twic East. That’s why they always ignore or discards our true claims.
N/B: Dr. John Garang se Mabior is Dinka Twic East. During the movement he was using Dinka Bor for Two reasons:
(a) Dinka Bor was the one tribe in that region Jonglei that was documented as legitimate tribe there when Garang took over SPLM/A. It was done by intellectuals and scholars who were often driven by these words: nepotism (brotherhood & sisterhood), selfish, ignorant, pride of individual backgrounds and ignorant of other tribes as dominant signs, etc.
Dinka Twic East is not that small, and also Dinka Bor should be proud about 2009 census as they are more than Dinka Twic East in population.
We the Dinka Twic East people need government of South Sudan to checks Bor County population for its being divide into two counties.
Dinka Twic East has three sections: Lith, Ajuong & Pakeer, and Dinka Bor has two sections: Athooc & Gok.
Truth and History will not be steal from Dinka Twic East.
