22.07.2009 - DW-World

In Den Haag ist die Entscheidung des Internationalen Schiedsgericht über den Grenzverlauf zwischen Nord- und Südsudan gefallen. Beide Seiten begrüßen den Schiedsspruch.

Im Sudan haben die Regierung und die Sudanesische Volksbefreiungsbewegung (SPLM), eine ehemalige Rebellenbewegung aus dem Südsudan, ein Urteil zum neuen Grenzverlauf zwischen Nord- und Südsudan begrüßt. Es ist eine schicksalhafte Entscheidung, die der Internationale Schiedsgerichtshof am Mittwoch (22.07.2009) in Den Haag gefällt hat. Nach Ansicht der Richter sollen die Grenzen der sudanesischen Provinz Abyei neu gezogen werden.

South Sudan gets back on track
10.04.2010 - BBC

The rumbling of the railway from the north which for years ignited fear in rural villages of southern Sudan is now being heard as a signal of the peace. "When the train used to come, there was nothing good it brought to us - only soldiers who came to raid our cattle and kill people," Paul Natale, administrative head of Aweil town, told the BBC. "Now the train will be coming with goods that will be cheaper. It will improve the life of the people," he says. His office is off the main dusty thoroughfare in the former garrison town - once a base for the northern army and Arab Murahaleen militia, who also used the train to carry southerners back north as slaves ... mehr

Sudan's north-south faultline worries about war
03.09.2010 - AP

AGOK, Sudan — Four months before Southern Sudan is scheduled to hold an independence referendum, tensions are already rising in this oil-rich region that sits on the expected future border, with allegations the central government is using violence and ethnic cleansing to sway the vote.

Southern Sudanese have crossed the Tribal Lines
17.09.2010 - Sudan Tribune

As the 2011 Southern Sudan and Abyei referenda is barely four months away, many unionists, local and international alike, fear tribal conflicts among southerners as a dividing factor that will ultimately lead the south into disintegration and create a situation of tribal anarchy in the break away south. The recent of these kinds is from Rhonda Shafei, a Columbia College Junior majoring in history. She is an executive board member of the Columbia International Relations Council and Association and the secretary general of the 2011 Columbia Model United Nations Conference and Exposition. Her reaction was in response to Hillary Clinton’s recent call for faithful and timely conduct of Referenda, in a metaphor in which she termed the Sudan as a “ticking time-bomb” ... mehr
