Khartoum:
The Sudanese government has called on the US administration to
stop its "carrot and stick policy" that it has been using in
dealing with the political issues in Sudan, Xinhua reported
Thursday.
"The Sudanese government does not perform its responsibilities in
desire for normalisation or in fear of sanctions, and the US
administration should cease its carrot and stick policy which it
has kept practicing," said El-Obaid Ahmed Marawah, spokesman of
the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement
Wednesday.
"The Sudanese government is aware of its responsibilities towards
peace and stability in all parts of the country...."
US President Barack Obama Wednesday called on the conflicting
parties in Sudan to end the bloody violence threatening the
Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA).
Obama urged the leaders of north and south Sudan to "live up to
their responsibilities," calling on the Khartoum government to
"prevent a further escalation of this crisis by ceasing its
military actions immediately, including aerial bombardments,
forced displacements and campaigns of intimidation."
CPA was a set of agreements culminating in January 2005 that were
signed between the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) and
the Government of Sudan. The CPA was meant to end the second
Sudanese Civil War , develop democratic governance countrywide and
share oil revenues.
The relations between north and south Sudan are witnessing
mounting tensions in the wake of armed clashes in South Kordofan
State and the Abyei area on the border between the two sides.
The tensions between the two sides have risen at a time when South
Sudan is getting ready to be officially declared independent July
9.
