A statement on the SPLM-N reaction to the signing of Implementation Matrix for the Cooperation Agreements between the Republic of the Sudan and the Republic of South Sudan
- The Head of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) negotiation team had issued a statement, March 12, 2013, claiming that the SPLM-N was in control of 40% of the joint borderlines between the Republic of the Sudan and the Republic of South Sudan, and that the SPLM-N would be a party, with the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) and the African Union High Level Implementation Panel (UNHIP), to the implementation of the Security Cooperation Arrangements Matrix between the Sudan and South Sudan. By such a claim, the SPLM-N wanted to position itself as a third party to the cooperation agreements between the Republic of the Sudan and the Republic of South Sudan.
- Based on this SPLM-N statement, the Government of the Republic of the Sudan would like to draw the attention of the Regional Community and the International Community, and the African Union in particular, to the destructive attitude of this armed entity against peace, security and stability between the Republic of the Sudan and the Republic of South Sudan. As, each time relations between the two countries move a step forward, this armed entity resorts to threat, intimidation and blackmailing to achieve its illegal goals, at the expense of the stability and at the expense of normalization of relations between the two countries.
- The Government of the Republic of the Sudan would like to reaffirm, once again, its full commitment to implement what was recently agreed upon with the Government of the Republic of South Sudan. The Government of the Republic of the Sudan looks forwards to the African Union and the International Community shouldering their responsibilities in the implementation of these agreements by removing away from the peace process between the two countries, such negative impact exercised by this entity.
- The Government of the Republic of the Sudan also notes the role of the International Community in the implementation of the Cooperation Agreements between the Republic of the Sudan and the Republic of South Sudan, so that the two could be viable states and so that their peoples could reap the fruits of these cooperation agreements.

It marks a rare moment where nostalgia intersects with the human capacity to rebuild daily routines amid the aftermath of a devastating war that lasted three years. What gives this return particular significance is that it ...

Tales of Return Khartoum Through Ahmed Sabri’s Lens… An Image Betting on Return
Khartoum (Sudanow) At a time when many chose to wait and watch, he chose to return. A young Sudanese man decided to carry his camera and walk the streets of Khartoum—not to document destruction, but to search for the pulse of life quietly finding its way back after the war. From roads that once knew fear, he is crafting a different narrative—one that says the city is regaining its strength, and that return is possible. Ahm...
