June 27, 2010 (JUBA) – The Secretary General of the SPLM and
the Minister of Peace and CPA Implementation, Pagan Amum, has said that the recent meeting of the two partners in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, was very positive. Speaking to Radio Miraya, Amum said that he had received pledges from the UN Security Council especially from China to respect the choice of the people of southern Sudan on either separation or unity.
However, Amum said that the time has gone for unity between the north and the south, adding that most of the southerners will vote for separation during the referendum process. Pagan Amum downplayed possibility of war between northern and Southern Sudan if the south becomes a separate State.
He called on the north to accept a neighboring country which respects neighbor's rights. Amum said that it is premature to talk about the name of the new country, but what is important is to conduct the referendum process and implement it as scheduled in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement.
