Government of South Sudan (GOSS) Minister of Peace and CPA implementation and Secretary-General of the SPLM, Comrade Pag’an Amum appealed Tuesday to the United Nations (UN) Security Council to ensure that every letter of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) is implemented and that the there be no return to war in Sudan.
Comrade Amum made the plea yesterday in a statement at the UN Security Council Ministerial Meeting on Sudan in New York.
Comrade Amum also thanked the Council for inviting him and for initiating a meeting on Sudan, saying “the fact of this meeting sends a very strong signal or support for the full implementation of the CPA, for the referenda to be conducted on time, and above all for peace to be maintained”.
GOSS Minister of Peace and CPA Implementation making a statement at the UN Security Council in New York
He pointed out to the Council that GOSS “will never weaver in their commitment to implement the CPA”. After hinting on some of the “tremendous efforts” the GOSS has made so far for the referendum to take place on time, the Minister of Peace and CPA implemented appealed to the Council to ensure that the National Congress Party (NCP) in the Government of Sudan in Khartoum also shows the same commitment.
He also stated, as a matter of fact, that all signs suggest the people of Southern Sudan are likely to vote for independence in January 2011; a reality that requires the Council and the UN Members to respect as it will be the choice of the people of Southern Sudan.
He went on to assure the Council that the GOSS has negotiated a framework agreement on post-referendum arrangements with the NCP that lays out general principles that would govern the future relations between the Southern and Northern Sudan as two sovereign states.
However, some issues of crucial importance have not yet been resolved.
The question of citizenship rights, border demarcation and Abyei remains thorny issues that need to be resolved.
Comrade Pag’an Amum finally appealed to the NCP to “join us [SPLM] in a positive politics of peace, reconciliation, respect and pursued mutual interest”.
The UN Security Council Ministerial Meeting on Sudan was initiated by the United Kingdom and presided by William Huge.

نص الكلمة التى القاها الامين العام للحركة الشعبية امام مجلس الامن والاجتماع الدولى الموسع برئاسة وزبر الخارجية البربطانى وليام هيق
Quote: Statement by H.E. Mr. Pagan Amum, GoSS Minister of Peace and CPA Implementation and SPLM Secretary-General At the United Nations Security Council Ministerial Meeting on Sudan November 16, 2010 United Nations Headquarters New York, New York Mr. President William Huge, I am very grateful for the opportunity to address the Council and to put forward the views of the Government of Southern Sudan. I also want to thank you, Mr. President, and the United Kingdom for taking the initiative to call this meeting at this important moment. I am particularly grateful to you, Mr. President, for inviting me to this meeting. Your chairmanship of the Council today, like the fact of this meeting, sends a very strong signal of support for the full implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, for the referenda to be conducted on time, and above all for peace to be maintained. I would also like to take this opportunity to convey the greetings of President Salva Kiir Mayardit to thank the Council for visiting Sudan last month. Your visit reassured the Sudanese people and especially the people in the Southern Sudan, that the world is watching, and that it is determined to keep peace on Sudan and to prevent another return to war. Mr. President, I wish to underline first and foremost that the SPLM and the Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS) will never waver in their commitment to implement the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). The signing the CPA was the key to ending civil war between the South and the North; its full implementation is the guarantee of lasting peace in the Sudan. The core of the CPA is the provision for holding two referenda on self-determination in Southern Sudan and Abyei. We very much welcome the beginning of voter registration for the Southern Sudan referendum yesterday and today. The turnout was impressive and peaceful. This is a clear sign that the Southern Sudan referendum will take place on time on 9 January 2011. It is essential that all parties hear an emphatic and firm message from the Council today that the referendum must be conducted on time, its results respected, and that the parties to the CPA, the SPLM and NCP, fully cooperate to this end. The Government of Southern Sudan has made – and will continue to make – tremendous efforts for the referendum to take place on time. We are making sure that every logistical arrangement is in place. We have made our share of funds available, and more, and would ask Council members to use their good offices to ensure that our partners the NCP in the Government of Sudan in Khartoum do the same. We are working with the UN to enable all eligible Southern Sudanese to register and vote in a free and fair environment and peaceful process. In the end it is for the people of Southern Sudan to decide and determine their future, choosing between unity and secession. All voices for unity or 2 separation must be heard in the campaign, so that the people’s view can be clearly determined. Any intimidation or harassment of those campaigning for separation or unity in the South or the North should not be tolerated. In the South, we are committed to protecting all, but especially those campaigning for unity. We thank United Mission in Sudan (UNMIS), and other UN agencies, and the international community for the support they are providing to the Southern Sudan Referendum Commission and welcome their continued engagement in this process.

Quote: Mr. President, All signs point to the fact that the people of Southern Sudan are likely to vote for independence in January. We call on the Council and on all UN Member States to respect the choice of the people of Southern Sudan, as shall be reflected in the outcome of the referendum. We welcome the timely appointment by the Secretary-General of the United Nations of the Monitoring Panel led by President Mkapa. We also welcome the work of the Panel to monitor actively both registration and voting, and we call on the Panel to be proactive in raising any issues with the parties to ensure that the vote is free and fair, and that the result reflects the will of the people of Southern Sudan. We also call on the Panel to authenticate the result quickly, to ensure stability and a smooth transition to the next phase of the process. In parallel, the GoSS is ready to negotiate and agree final post-referendum arrangements, to ensure clarity of relationship and stability between South and North Sudan. The Government of Southern Sudan has just negotiated a framework agreement with its northern partner that lays out the general principles that would govern the future relationship between Southern and Northern Sudan as two sovereign states if the choice of the people is for separation. We are grateful for the support of the African Union High Level Implementation Panel led by President Thabo Mbeki, as well as the support of the United States of America, the United Nations, Ethiopia, Kenya, Norway, Egypt, and other partners who have recently been engaged and engaging the parties convening numerous meetings to facilitate these negotiations. Mr. President, The people and Government of Southern Sudan strongly desire a peaceful and collaborative relationship between the South and the North - a relationship that benefits and protects all of our peoples. We share a common history. And even though we are sitting at the two separate ends of the round table of the Security Council, and also even though the people of Southern Sudan may chose to secede we shall always remain neighbors, and we have no choice but to be good neighbours. We are economically interdependent. We therefore have to be partners too. We need to work out the foundations and details of that partnership. Both North and South must be viable entities or states that cooperate for the mutual benefit of their peoples. One of the issues of crucial importance, especially given the longstanding historical ties between Northern and Southern Sudan, is the question of citizenship rights. The 3 Government of Southern Sudan wishes to reiterate that the rights of all Northern Sudanese in the South will be fully respected and protected. Additionally, the property rights of northerners, as well as foreign investments in Southern Sudan, will be completely respected and protected by the Government of Southern Sudan. No Northern Sudanese rights will be violated or activities obstructed, regardless of the outcome of the referendum. All we ask is that the rights and livelihoods of Southern Sudanese in the North be protected and treated in exactly the same way. The second issue that the parties agreed to address is border demarcation. There are only five areas of disagreement or dispute between the parties on the border, and we have agreed in recent days in the last discussions led by President Thabo Mbeki to demarcate the areas agreed in the North/South border and to settle the areas in dispute through dialogue and negotiations including a recorse to international arbitration if necessary. We thank the UN for availing support for demarcation the borders and we also especially thank United Kingdom for its pledge to support the border demarcation process. If we cannot reach a solution jointly, we have agreed that we will have recourse to binding international arbitration and no return to conflict. Another critical outstanding issue between North and South is Abyei. We call on the Council to support the full implementation of the Abyei Protocol that defined it as area of the Nine Ngok Dinka Chiefdoms; we also call on the council to support the full implementation of the Permanent Court Arbitration PCA tribunal ruling on the Abyei boundaries. As you know, the parties agreed in recent days to have the Presidency of the Sudan resolves the impasse on Abyei. We see two options: the first would be a referendum in which members of the Ngok Dinka community would be allowed to vote on whether they wish to remain part of the North or rejoin the South, while giving grantees for protection of right of grazing to the Messerya and other nomads that go to and cross Abyei to Southern Sudan for grazing purposes. The second option would involve a transfer of Abyei to the South by Sudanese Presidential decree, the same way in which Abyei was transferred in 1905 by an administrative order. The SPLM is ready to discuss and resolve this matter to put together with our other partners in the international community the necessary package that will set the Abyei process free

Quote: Mr. President, We know that we cannot change our geography. The referenda may change the nature of the relationship between the South and the North. But whatever happens, we shall remain committed to a peaceful, stable and prosperous future for the people of Sudan weather in one country or as two separate states. In the South, all political parties reaffirmed yesterday their full support for a roadmap that will provide for a stable and democratic dispensation in Southern Sudan, and peaceful development for our people in the post-referendum period. This is a very positive development. We are ready to engage in discussions on a full, rich and peaceful relationship with our CPA partners, and we are desirous to build and enhance partnership between the South and the North. To the National Congress Party, we say please join us in a positive politics of peace, reconciliation, respect and pursued mutual interest. Let us together 4 present a good example for our Sudanese peoples, Africa and the world that after failure and many years of conflict in Sudan; we can succeed even to separate peacefully and to be good neighbors I thank Council members for this meeting and for their concern and interest at this critical time in our history. I thank you sincerely, Mr. President, for holding this meeting, and for your own personal interest and support for peace in Sudan. Sentiments like these are often expressed, with pious words but insincere hearts. But my heart could not be more sincere when I say to you, Council members and the world – please ensure that every letter of the CPA is fully implemented. Let there be peace in Sudan and no return to war. The Security Council was established for moments such as these. Thank you, Mr. President.

كلمة هيلارى كلنتون وزيره الخارجية الامريكيه
Quote: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Office of the Spokesman For Immediate Release November 16, 2010 2010/1645 REMARKS Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton At the United Nations Security Council Ministerial Meeting on Sudan November 16, 2010 United Nations Headquarters New York, New York SECRETARY CLINTON: Thank you very much, and thank you for that excellent statement. I want to commend the United Kingdom for calling this important session, giving us the opportunity to help chart a way toward a durable peace for all of the people of Sudan. And I want to commend the Security Council for their recent visit to Sudan, which was extremely important. I also want to thank the Secretary General for his excellent briefing and his personal involvement in the efforts to find a durable peace, Special Representative Menkerios for his skillful efforts on behalf of the people of Sudan. I commend the work of the African Union’s High-Level Implementation Panel, led by President Mbeki, as well as the efforts of the African Union-UN Joint Mission for Darfur, especially Joint Special Representative Gambari and Chief Mediator Bassole. I particularly appreciate the excellent presentations by both His Excellency Minister Karti and Mr. Pagan Amum. I thought both of them, if we could translate their words into action immediately, would have demonstrated un#####ocally the commitment to find a way toward a durable peace that we seek. Yesterday marked a milestone in the history of Sudan. Voters from Southern Sudan began lining up to register for the referendum by which they will decide their own future. Holding this referendum, resolving the status of Abyei, and all of the conditions of the CPA represent the promise of self-determination made to the Sudanese people under the Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2005. The United States believes that these are promises that must be kept. It is critical to peace and stability, not only for Sudan but also for the neighbors, some of whom are here today, and the rest of Africa represented by others, that the referendum for Southern Sudan be held peacefully and on time on January 9th. And regardless of the outcome, the will of the people must be respected by all parties in Sudan and around the world. 2 Because we have already seen the alternative. The alternative, the unacceptable alternative, is Sudan’s past, more than four decades of recurring conflict, two million people dead, millions more displaced, simmering tensions that stall development and perpetuate poverty, then erupt again to darken the lives of another generation of Sudanese children.

In the next 55 days, the Government of Sudan can ensure a brighter future, one that does offer peace, opportunity, and hope. But there is a huge amount of work to be done in these next 55 days. And I agree completely with Minister Karti and with Mr. Amum; each member state must do its utmost to help. None of us should look back and wish we had done more. As President Obama has said, although no outsider can dictate events on the ground in Sudan, it is up to the political leaders and the people of Sudan whether they will choose peace or confrontation. But it is up to all of us to help them not only make the right choice but then to implement it to the benefit of all their people. It was particularly heartening last week to see the defense ministers from Khartoum and Juba hold a rare joint press conference to say that no matter what differences and disputes might arise from the referendum process, they will be resolved through political dialogue. The minister said, and I quote, “There will be no return to war.” And we all fervently hope that is the case. But to fulfill that promise, the North and South must promptly forge agreements on the crucial issues that will arise in 2011: oil revenue distribution, border demarcation, international treaties, security arrangements, citizenship rights, and the protection of vulnerable civilians, including Southerners in the North and Northerners in the South. The fate of 44 million Sudanese depends on their leaders’ willingness to work together to resolve these issues. Most urgently, the parties must make the tough compromises necessary to settle the status of Abyei. They must find a way forward that both upholds the rights of the Ngok Dinka and the other residents of Abyei as well as the nomadic peoples like the Misseriya who regularly pass through the area. And they must do so promptly because preparations for the referendum on Abyei have fallen behind schedule and tensions will continue to rise. The Comprehensive Peace Agreement agreed to by both parties calls for this referendum. It also states that the parties themselves can agree to change it. However, unless the parties reach a mutual agreement that is acceptable to all the people of Abyei, the United States and the international community will continue to hold them to their commitment to an on-time referendum, as promised in the CPA. But even as we focus on the future of Southern Sudan, Abyei, and all of Sudan, we remain deeply concerned about Darfur. Violence is intensifying, human rights violations continue, arms flow despite the embargo, journalists and activists are arrested – some merely for speaking to members of this Security Council – UN peacekeepers are kidnapped. This is all unacceptable. The United States stands ready to work with the Council to support peace efforts in Darfur and we call on all parties to participate in the Doha talks without delay or preconditions. We urge the government not to target civilians or use proxy militia or support the Janjaweed and other irregular forces, or prevent freedom of movement of UN personnel and aid workers. In Darfur

Quote: and elsewhere, the Government of Sudan must live up to its international obligations to respect human rights; to allow humanitarian assistance; to protect civilians, including victims of sexual violence; to ensure that refugees and internally displaced people can return in safety and with dignity; and to bring those responsible for atrocities to justice. As President Obama said here in New York, accountability sends a powerful message that certain behavior, including genocide, is not acceptable. Because in the 21st century, we must uphold universal rules and values. Officials throughout Sudan, both North and South, have a particular responsibility in the run-up to the voting. They must avoid inflammatory rhetoric, quell rumors, and dampen animosities. They must allow unfettered campaigning by all sides and ensure that voters can travel safely to their polling places. The voting must take place on time, without violence, and in an atmosphere of calm. I commend the Sudanese people, North and South, and the international community for working hard to make that possible. And we are beginning to see results. Nearly 33,000 voter registration books have been printed and delivered, enough to register nearly 5 million Southern Sudanese voters in the North and South. Booklets to register another 350,000 voters believed to be living abroad have also been shipped. More than 1,000 Sudanese election observers have been trained. And the Carter Center and European Union are also deploying monitors. Russia has generously committed to providing four helicopters that will be used to assist UNMIS in its many critical tasks. But more must be done, and so we urge all UN member states to support the UN mission in Sudan, and we hope that the Government of Sudan will continue to fund, with help from others, the South Sudan Referendum Commission going forward. Now, as we plan this effort, it is essential to include women. It’s unusual that I’m the only woman at the table for the Security Council, so speaking on behalf of all women, let me just say that women are critical to every step of building, negotiating, and keeping the peace in Sudan. Lasting peace and prosperity will not be achieved if half the population is excluded from that process. In country after country, as we discussed with the implementation of Resolution 1325, we have seen that the underlying issues that cause conflicts are more likely to recur and less likely to be resolved if women are not involved at the peace table. In both the North and the South, we certainly hope that women will be brought in to the highest levels of government. The Sudanese people want peace and the United States wants to help them achieve it. We have engaged in intensive diplomacy to help accomplish that. We have spent more than $200 million to help mitigate conflict, provide election security, create economic opportunities, and fund voter registration, education, and observation. We have sent Special Envoy Scott Gration, Ambassador Princeton Lyman, Ambassador Barrie Walkley, and a whole raft of people to try to increase our presence in Southern Sudan as well as to work with both the government in Khartoum and the SPLM in Juba. And this month, the Chairman of our Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator John Kerry, traveled to Khartoum with a special message on behalf of President Obama. The message was this: If Sudan chooses the path of peace, the Government of Sudan can have a dramatically 4 improved relationship with the United States, including normalization of relations between our two countries. To demonstrate our commitment to improving U.S.-Sudanese relations, the United States has already taken two steps. First, we have changed our policies to ease the sale of agricultural and irrigation equipment to Sudan, which will boost food production and decrease the need for international food aid. Second, to help Sudan’s economy grow, the United States has supported the creation of a group to work on ways to ease Sudan’s national debt, consistent with international debt relief practices. Now, these are steps we’ve already taken, but we are prepared to do much more. If the Government of Sudan fulfills the CPA, if it resolves the future of Abyei, if it holds Southern Sudan’s referendum on January 9th and then recognizes the will of the Sudanese people in the South, then the United States is prepared to begin the process of withdrawing Sudan from our list of state sponsors of terrorism. This would be done in accordance with our laws on terrorism. If the Government of Sudan commits to a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Darfur and takes other steps toward peace and accountability, the Obama Administration is prepared to offer Sudan a path to the ending of U.S. sanctions, working toward international debt relief, increasing trade and investment, and forging a mutually beneficial relationship. We are well aware that it takes not only skill, but courage for Sudan’s leaders in both the North and the South to implement the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, to promote dignity and human rights, to ease suffering and work toward a durable peace, and to include in that peace Darfur. But the world will stand with both of you if you can and do take these steps. We think that the path to peace and prosperity, to good neighborliness, to partnership and cooperation for all Sudanese is clear. It is up to the Government of Sudan, it is up to the SPLM in the South to decide whether to walk that path. If it does, the United States stands ready to assist you and, most importantly, to assist the next generation of Sudanese children so that they can have a future without war and conflict. Thank you, Mr. President
