South Sudan's President Salva Kiir called on north Sudan to withdraw its forces from the disputed Abyei region. The oil-rich region was forcefully taken over by North Sudanese forces last week.
South Sudan's President Salva Kiir called on north Sudan on Thursday to withdraw its forces from the disputed Abyei region. But he says there would be no war over the raid and it would not derail independence.
[Salva Kiir, President, South Sudan]:
"I am calling upon my president, President Omar Al Bashir to pull out his force from Abyei, that is unconditional and so that we allow the deployment of international forces that will keep peace in the area and so that we allow the people who have been displaced from their homes to go back to their places and to allow the humanitarian organizations to go in to deliver humanitarian assistance to these people."
North Sudanese armed forces seized control of the oil-producing Abyei region on Saturday, forcing tens of thousands to flee.
The move sparked an international outcry seven weeks before south Sudan secedes to form a new nation.
Abyei was a key battleground in Sudan's last north/south civil war and both sides see it as a symbolic emblem.
The region is used all year round by the Dinka Ngok people, who have strong ethnic links to the south, and for part of the year by northern Misseriya nomads.
Analysts fear a north Sudanese land grab could spark a return to full-blown conflict.
This would have a devastating impact on the region by sending refugees back across borders and creating a failed state in the south at birth.
But President Kiir says he has no intention of going to war.
[Salva Kiir, President, South Sudan]:
"We did not really take it upon ourselves that we must now go back to war because we have been provoked, no it will not happen. I must state here that we remain committed to peace and if anybody thinks that SPLA and the government of Southern Sudan are going to retaliate by attacking Abyei or attacking anywhere in Sudan, we are not going to do it."
Khartoum has defied U.S. and U.N. calls, saying it will not withdraw from land it says belongs to the north.
A Washington-based monitoring organization, Satellite Sentinel Project, said imagery and analysis indicated the north Sudanese armed forces had gathered heavy armour and artillery around El Obeid, about 270 miles north of Abyei.

South Sudan’s conflict could cost the region up to $53 Billion if it prolongs to five year. A report on the cost of the conflict indicates that Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan and Tanzania will suffer the spillover effects of the war including financial costs related to security needs, refugees and loss of trade. The war, according to the report published by Frontier Economics, a European economic consultancy, will cost South Sudan up to $28Billion if the conflict lasts five years. More than 10,000 people have died since the war broke out in the world’s youngest nation in December 2013. Sarah Kimani reports.

Earth from Space is presented by Kelsea Brennan-Wessels from the ESA Web-TV virtual studios. The image featured in the one-hundred-nineteenth edition was acquired over an area just south of Sudanese city of Nyala, showing part of the Kalma refugee camp. This image from Korea’s Kompsat-2 satellite on 8 February 2013 shows an area in the southern Darfur region of Sudan, just south of the city of Nyala. The Wadi Nyala flows diagonally across the image, surrounded by agricultural plots. To the north, we can see the straight line of the railway.
The city of Nyala to the northwest (not pictured) was formerly a nomadic camp, but experienced a boom in commercial activity with the arrival of the railway in the 1950s.
The population further increased as people moved to the town during times of drought and conflict.
Satellite images can assist in identifying water resources and aid the sustainable growth of urban areas. During conflict, they can also be used to find suitable locations for refugee camps by identifying where water and other resources are available, and suitable terrain.
In the upper-left section we can see thousands of small structures of the Kalma camp, housing tens of thousands of internally displaced people who have fled the Darfur conflict.
As the war in Darfur continues, so do the hardships in the camp. Kalma saw a recent outbreak in hepatitis, claiming an estimated 150 lives and infecting another 500 people. Last month, violence broke out between security forces and camp residents protesting raids by government forces. A number of protesters were killed in the skirmish.

The incident took place after the truck tipped over when it was travelling to South Sudan's Western Equatoria region.
At least 100 people were kiIIed in S.Sudan when a crowd tried to gather fuel from an oil tanker that had veered off the road.
The vehicle was on its way to a region west of the capital Juba when it tipped over and later exploded, the presidential spokesman said today.
The incident took place yesterday as the truck was travelling to South's Sudan's Western Equatoria region.
Ateny Wek Ateny, presidential spokesman, said: "85 people are confirmed dead by the local authorities", adding about 50 people were seriously injured.
Such incidents have happened before in a region where fuel tankers often have to travel long distances along potholed roads and pass through poor communities.
There are almost no tarmac roads in South Sudan, one of Africa's poorest nations, which has been mired in conflict since December 2013.
Rebels and the government signed a peace deal in August, although the ceasefire has already been violated.
Ateny said the incident was not related to the conflict.
"This was an accident," he said, adding the tanker had veered off the road and later exploded with a crowd around it.
In June 2013, at least 30 people were killed and scores more injured when a broken-down fuel tanker exploded on a highway in Uganda while they were trying to siphon fuel.

"This was an accident," he said.

S.Sudan a Lucrative Opportunity for EAC Internal Trade

South Sudan had become East Africa’s most active trading partner in the region, importing food stuffs and manufactured products before the civil war settled in the country in 2013. In particular, Uganda’s earning was about Ush271 billion on a monthly basis before the war but this declined tremendously as a result of reduced trade volumes during the war.
After signing the Peace Deal last month, Trademark East Africa, a company that supports the growth of trade, both regional and international, to ensure that gains from east African trade results are tangible, is optimistic that, if respected, the deal is likely to spur economic growth of the EAC.
It is however unfortunate that EAC partner states still cling on their sovereignty to put in place protectionism policies that are believed to protect their local produce. This return has affected the sole objective of the EAC which is to make the region a single and united trade entity.
Allen the Trade Mark East Africa representative in Uganda says there is need to think as a team so as to compete in the global open markets.
Allen expressed disappointment in Uganda’s private sector which has kept on complaining about the EAC operations instead of strategizing to gab the opportunities therein.
It is important to note that Uganda Export promotion board, Uganda’s main export partners are S.Sudan consuming 15 percent of exports, followed by Kenya, 10 percent, DR Congo, Netherlands, Germany, South Africa and UAE.

Since the end of November, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams in the Yida refugee camp, in South Sudan’s Unity State, have been responding to spike in measles cases that is primarily affecting the young.
Many of the sick children recently arrived in Yida after fleeing with their families from Sudan’s Nuba Mountain region, where bombardments and fighting between rebels and the Sudanese government forces have intensified of late.
MSF has been working in Yida since 2011 which is now “home” to some 70,000 Sudanese refugees. The crowded living conditions make the refugees more susceptible to the measles virus that spreads with the droplets from the mouth or nose of infected persons. Children under five and pregnant women are most at risk due to their weaker immune system.
“In a refugee setting, one single case of measles is considered an outbreak,” says Ahmed Mohama Mahat, MSF’s vaccination coordinator in Yida. “And these people arriving in Yida from the Nuba Mountains are in very bad conditions; they have not been vaccinated for a long time.”

In 2014, 200,000 people from South Sudan fled to western Ethiopia in search for safety and asylum. The long journey from South Sudan to the Gambella region of Ethiopia left the arriving refugees in poor health. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) have been present in three camps located on the border of these countries to provide maternal care, treatment for malnutrition, and other health services. In the summer of 2014, in order to prevent a possible cholera outbreak, MSF began a cholera vaccination campaign that was administered to over 76,000 Sudanese children.

"I make sure that I have to vote today, to mark the end of the suffering of the southerners and myself because I joined the army when I was eleven years."
4. Various of people voting
STORYLINE:
Voters continued to trickle into polling stations on Friday to cast ballots in southern Sudan's historic referendum that is likely to result in independence for a region the size of France.
An official with Southern Sudan's ruling Sudan Peoples' Liberation Movement told journalists on Wednesday that nearly 2.3 million (m) voters had cast ballots so far, surpassing the 60 percent of registered voters needed to ensure the outcome's validity.
Because only 15 percent of southern Sudan's 8.7 million (m) people can read, the ballot choices were a drawing of a single hand marked "separation" or another of clasped hands marked "unity".
One voter, John Machor said he was voting to "to mark the end of the suffering of my people and myself because I joined the army when I was eleven years".
Some two million (m) people died in a two-decade war between north and south Sudan that ended in 2005 with a peace agreement that allowed for the referendum on independence.
The week-long vote has been jubilant, though the future of the desperately poor region remains uncertain.
Southerners, who mainly define themselves as African, have long resented their underdevelopment, accusing the northern Arab-dominated government in Khartoum of taking their oil revenues without investing in the south.
The entire France-sized region has only 30 miles (50 kilometres) of paved roads.
Southerners - mainly animists or Christians - were also angered by attempts by the northern dominated government to impose Islamic law.
Independence won't be finalised until July, and many issues are yet to be worked out.
They include north-south oil rights, water rights to the White Nile, border demarcation and the status of the contested region of Abyei, a north-south border region where the biggest threat of a return to conflict exists.
Violence in the disputed region of Abyei has killed at least 30 people along Sudan's north-south divide in recent days, officials have said.

8. Wide shot heads of state leaving the conference room.
STORYLINE:
At the end of the one-day summit, seven African leaders welcomed the end of civil war in Sudan and urged the international community to provide funds pledged last year for reconstruction in war-torn southern Sudan.
Kenya's foreign minister Raphael Tuju said: "We note with satisfaction the progress made in the implementation of the comprehensive peace agreement CPA, signed between the government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement SPLM."
Sudan's president Omar Hassan al-Bashir pledged to honour the agreement and praised IGAD: "We are sure that under your guidance and leadership of IGAD mandate we are going to realise what we have agreed to achieve."
The leaders also reiterated earlier calls for the UN Security Council to lift an arms embargo on Somalia to allow for the deployment of a peacekeeping mission there.
Somalia has had no effective central government, coast guard nor navy since 1991, when warlords ousted a dictatorship and then turned on each other.
IGAD, which groups Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda, was initially formed to further regional economic, agricultural and environmental cooperation.
The 20-year-old organisation has increasingly addressed the peace and security issues also seen as holding back the region's development.
Leaders also discussed plans to deal with recurrent drought in arid areas of East Africa that often leaves residents facing serious food shortages.
Eritrea's president did not attend Monday's summit, sending his agriculture minister instead. Each of the other six countries was represented by a head of state or government.
In their final statement, the leaders made no reference to the simmering border dispute between Ethiopia and Eritrea despite earlier calls the two nations resolve their tense stand off.

STORYLINE
China has rolled out the red carpet for a state visit by Sudan's president, wanted on an international warrant that accuses him of war crimes.
President Omar al-Bashir was visiting China, a major trading partner and investor in his country, just days before southern Sudan becomes independent, and with the warrant from the International Criminal Court hanging over his head.
Al-Bashir was greeted on Wednesday by President Hu Jintao at the Great Hall of the People in central Beijing and given an honour guard reception.
Al-Bashir's talks with Hu are expected to focus on promoting peace in the African nation ahead of south Sudan's independence July 9.
Sudan's president arrived in Beijing on Tuesday, a day after his plane was forced to turn back over Turkmenistan because of flight itinerary problems.
China is a major economic partner for Sudan, and Beijing extended the invitation to al-Bashir despite the international warrant.
On Tuesday the two countries signed contracts of economic cooperation in Beijing.
Al-Bashir is wanted by the International Criminal Court for allegedly orchestrating atrocities in Sudan's Darfur region on the first such warrant against a sitting head of state.
The Netherlands-based court has no police force and relies on member states to execute its orders and warrants.
China is not a member.
The Sudanese leader rejects the charges, and China, which has major oil investments in Sudan, has expressed concerns the indictment of al-Bashir could further destabilise the region.
China is uniquely positioned to exert influence over the conflict between north and south Sudan, given its efforts to maintain friendly ties with the southern region to protect Chinese oil investments while remaining a key political ally of Sudan's government in the north.
Al-Bashir has travelled without arrest to several other nations, including ICC treaty signatories Chad and Kenya.
South Sudan's declaration of independence next month will be the culmination of a 2005 peace deal that ended more than two decades of civil war that killed more than 2 (m) million people.

STORYLINE
Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, returning from the annual UN General Assembly session, stopped briefly in Cairo on Thursday and held talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
The two leaders were expected to discuss the situation in Sudan's Darfur region.
Sudan on Thursday welcomed the African Union (AU)'s decision to keep peacekeepers in the war-torn Darfur region another three months and urged them to extend their mandate even further, amid government opposition to replacing them with a tougher UN Force.
The African Union peacekeepers' mandate had been due to run out at the end of this month.
An extension through December 31st, announced at the United Nations on Wednesday, puts off a showdown for now over Khartoum's refusal to allow UN troops to take over the mission and triple its size.
The underequipped seven thousand-member AU force has been unable to bring an end to violence in the large western region of Darfur, where at least 200-thousand people have been killed amid three years of fighting between government forces and rebels.
Another 2.5 (m) million have been driven from their homes by the fighting and by attacks from pro-government militias known as the janjaweed.
Violence has continued despite a peace deal reached May 5 between the government and one of the rebel groups.
The UN Security Council passed a resolution last month that would put the African force under the UN, expand it to more than 20-thousand troops and give it new authority to protect civilians.
But Sudan has vehemently rejected a UN role, saying the deployment aims to divide and weaken the country.

STORYLINE
An international arbitration panel on Wednesday awarded the Sudanese government control over almost all major oil reserves in a disputed region of Sudan that erupted into violence between state forces and southern rebels last year.
The five-member Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague affirmed the northern boundary of the Abyei region as set by a 2005 decision of the Abyai Boundaries Commission, but drew new boundaries in the east and west that placed the Heglig oil fields and the Nile oil pipeline under control of the Khartoum government.
Both sides said they accepted the decision and southern officials said they would accept it as a step toward permanent peace.
Dirdeiry Mohamed Ahmed, the head of the northern-based Sudanese government delegation, called the decision a victory.
Riek Machar Teny, Deputy Chairman Sudan People's Liberation Movement, said the semiautonomous southerners accepted the panel's ruling.
He accepted that the borders drawn up by the Abyai Boundaries Commission (ABC) in 2005 had been modified, but made clear his movement would respect the verdict.
"All in all, we accept what the arbitration has done. We commit to implement it, and we hope to consolidate peace in the area," he said.
The arbitration is a crucial test for the 2005 peace agreement that ended 20 years of warfare between the government and southern Sudanese rebels.
The Abyei region, with its rich oil reserves and grazing lands used by nomadic herders from the north and south, has suffered flare-ups of violence since the peace deal.
The northern government and semiautonomous south asked the Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration to set the region's permanent borders after a May 2008 battle in which 22 northern soldiers were killed, most of the town of Abyei was burned to the ground and 50-thousand residents were forced to flee.
Abyei residents will hold a separate referendum that year to decide whether to join the north or south.

This crisis is both a responsibility and an opportunity for the international community to help steer Sudan along a path that can lead to stability and security for the people of Sudan, the region and the world. It is also a responsibility and opportunity for the Sudanese people and their leaders to demonstrate their commitment to taking concrete steps toward durable peace. Anything short of that will destine Sudan to failure."

There will be no rewards for the status quo, no incentives without concrete and tangible progress. There will be significant consequences for parties that backslide or simply stand still: all parties will be held to account."
7. Wide of Rice speaking
STORYLINE
The United States will shift its policy toward Sudan to one based on working with the Khartoum government instead of isolating it, the Obama administration said on Monday.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced details of the new approach at a news conference in Washington on Monday, joined by US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice and Scott Gration, the administration's envoy to Sudan.
In a written statement on Monday, Obama said there will be "incentives" if the government of Sudan "acts to improve the situation on the ground and to advance peace."
"If it does not, then there will be increased pressure imposed by the United States and the international community," he warned.
Obama said an agreement between the North and South in Sudan must be implemented for there to be any chance for long-term peace.
In her State Department news conference, Clinton said the administration is "looking to achieve results through broad engagement and frank dialogue."
But she warned that "words alone are not enough."
"Assessment of progress and decisions regarding incentives and disincentives will be based on verifiable changes in conditions on the ground," she said.
Until now, there has been disagreement within the administration about how to approach Sudan.
Rice and Gration have clashed over how far to engage the Sudanese government of President Omar al-Bashir, charged by the International Criminal Court with crimes against humanity and war crimes for allegedly masterminding deadly attacks throughout the Darfur region of Sudan.
Rice favours taking a harder line.
At the news conference, Rice said the US "is prepared to work with all sides."
UN officials say the war has claimed at least 300-thousand lives from violence, disease and displacement.

STORYLINE:
The Irish ambassador to Sudan praised local officials on Monday for their work in coordinating the weekend's release of an Irish aid worker seized at gunpoint with a colleague more than three months ago in the Darfur region.
Speaking from Khartoum on Monday, ambassador Gerard Corr said Ireland was now "determined that the trauma of the last three months will be turned to a different end" adding "that the friendship between our two countries will be enriched and deepened by this event".
Sharon Commins, from Ireland, and Hilda Kuwuki of Uganda were taken hostage on July 3 in the western region of Sudan, where government forces have been battling rebels for more than six years.
The 33-year-old Commins and 42-year-old Kuwuki were working for Irish humanitarian aid agency GOAL.
The two women were in good health on Monday after having medical checkups at a hospital in northern Darfur according to Sudan's state minister for humanitarian affairs, Abdel-Baqi al-Jailani.
Shortly after they were seized, al-Jailani had said the kidnappers were seeking a ransom and did not appear to have political motives, though on Saturday he told The Associated Press no ransom was paid.
He gave no details on how Saturday's release came about, except to say it involved the cooperation of local and federal governments as well as tribal leaders in the region.
The Irish Department of Foreign Affairs also declined to describe the deal that won the women's release.
Corr said on Monday, during a joint news conference with al-Jailani and Ugandan Ambassador to Sudan Betty Akech, that "it has been a difficult hundred days but we never lost faith that the end result would be what has now been achieved".
The pair's ordeal was the third kidnapping of foreign humanitarian workers in Sudan's remote western region since March, when an international court issued an arrest warrant for the country's president on charges of orchestrating war crimes there.
Aid organisations working in Darfur have preferred to work without security from the government or peacekeepers in the region to avoid appearing to be taking sides in the conflict, making them more vulnerable.
The series of abductions, along with Sudan's expulsion of 13 international aid agencies in response to the arrest warrant, struck a blow to the vital aid effort in the desert region.

George Clooney Interview on the Future of Sudan: Darfur Conflict - Political Activism (2010)
George Timothy Clooney (born May 6, 1961) is an American actor, film director, producer, and screenwriter. He has received three Golden Globe Awards for his wor...
George Timothy Clooney (born May 6, 1961) is an American actor, film director, producer, and screenwriter. He has received three Golden Globe Awards for his work as an actor, and two Academy Awards — one for acting and the other for producing. Clooney is also noted for his political activism, and has served as one of the United Nations Messengers of Peace since January 31, 2008.[1][2][3]
Clooney made his acting debut on television in 1978, and later gained wide recognition in his role as Dr. Douglas "Doug" Ross on the long-running medical drama ER from 1994 to 1999, for which he received two Emmy Award nominations. While working on ER, he began attracting a variety of leading roles in films including Batman & Robin (1997) and Out of Sight (1998), in which he first worked with long-term collaborator Steven Soderbergh. In 1999 Clooney took the lead role in Three Kings, a well-received war satire set during the Gulf War. In 2001, Clooney's fame widened with the release of his biggest commercial success, Ocean's Eleven, the first of a profitable film trilogy, a remake of the film from 1960 with the members of the Rat Pack with Frank Sinatra as Danny Ocean. He made his directorial debut a year later with the 2002 biographical thriller Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, and has since directed Good Night, and Good Luck (2005), Leatherheads (2008), and The Ides of March (2011). He won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the Middle East thriller Syriana (2005) and subsequently gained Best Actor nominations for such films as Michael Clayton (2007), Up in the Air (2009) and The Descendants (2011). In 2013, he received the Academy Award for Best Picture for producing the film Argo, alongside Ben Affleck and Grant Heslov. He is the only person to ever be nominated for Academy Awards in six different categories.[4]
In 2005, TV Guide ranked Clooney #1 on its "50 Sexiest Stars of All Time" lists.[5]
Clooney's humanitarian work includes his advocacy of finding a resolution for the Darfur conflict, raising funds for the 2010 Haiti earthquake, 2004 Tsunami, and 9/11 victims, and creating documentaries such as Sand and Sorrow to raise awareness about international crises. He is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Clooney has advocated a resolution of the Darfur conflict.[48]
He spoke at a 2006 Save Darfur rally in Washington, D.C. In April 2006, he spent ten days in Chad and Sudan with his father to make the TV special "A Journey to Darfur" reflecting the situation of Darfur's refugees, and advocated for action. The documentary was broadcast on American cable TV as well as in the UK and France. In 2008, it was released on DVD with the sale proceeds being donated to the International Rescue Committee.[49][50][51][52] In September of the same year, he spoke to the UN Security Council with Nobel Prize-winner Elie Wiesel to ask the UN to find a solution to the conflict and to help the people of Darfur.[53] In December, he visited China and Egypt with Don Cheadle and two Olympic winners to ask both governments to pressure Sudan's government.
On March 25, 2007, he sent an open letter to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, calling on the European Union to take "decisive action" in the region given the failure of Sudan President Omar al-Bashir to respond to UN resolutions.[55] He narrated and was co-executor producer of the 2007 documentary Sand and Sorrow.[56] Clooney also appeared in the documentary film Darfur Now, a call-to-action film released in November 2007 for people all over the world to help stop the Darfur crisis.[57] In December 2007, Clooney and fellow actor Don Cheadle received the Summit Peace Award from the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates in Rome. In his acceptance speech, Clooney said that "Don and I ... stand here before you as failures. The simple truth is that when it comes to the atrocities in Darfur ... those people are not better off now than they were years ago."[58][59] On January 18, 2008, the United Nations announced Clooney's appointment as a UN messenger of peace, effective January 31.[1][2]
Clooney conceived of and, with John Prendergast, human rights activist, co-founder of the Enough Project, and Strategic Advisor for Not On Our Watch Project, initiated the Satellite Sentinel Project (SSP), after an October 2010 trip to South Sudan. SSP aims to monitor armed activity for signs of renewed civil war between Sudan and South Sudan, and to detect and deter mass atrocities along the border regions there.
