Sudan First Vice president Kiir begins visit to Egypt

Sunday 25 October 2009 printSend this article by mail

October 24, 2009 (KHARTOUM) – The First Vice President of Sudan and the president of South Sudan Salva Kiir will start on Sunday a two day visit to Egypt, state agency reported.

Kiir will hold talks with Egyptian president Mohamed Hosni Mubarak and Prime Minister Ahmed Nazeef. His delegation includes presidential adviser Mansour Khalid, foreign minister Deng Alor and Joseph Ashwil state minister at the presidency and other officials.

On Saturday, Kiir met with Sudanese president Omer Hassan Al-Bashir and briefed him on his recent tour in South African nations as well as efforts his government is doing to curb violence in the South.

Sudan official news agency (SUNA) also said the two sides discussed progress in implementing the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA).

The semi-official Egyptian Al-Ahram newspaper quoted the spokesperson of Egyptian cabinet Magdi Radi as saying that Nazeef will tackle with Kiir the plans to resume work in the Jonglei canal project.

Radi said that the Jonglei canal project will save 4 billion cubic meters of water from the Nile waters that would be shared equally for use in the development of the South and launching agricultural and energy projects.

Egypt is growing increasingly concerned with growing water shortage relative to demand. The Nile basin countries are lobbying hard to amend water agreements that grant the lion share of the Nile river water to Egypt.

However, Cairo with the backing of Sudan blocked the move. Egyptian officials have long held that the water security is a red line.

The Jonglei Canal, started in 1980, is a hydro-construction project in Upper Nile Province of southern Sudan designed to alter the course of the White Nile as it passes through a swampy area in southern Sudan known as the Sudd.

However the controversial canal project was put to a halt in 1983 following the outbreak of the North-South civil war. Some southerners say that the canal will cause environmental damage as well as displacement.

The newspaper added that Kiir and Nazeef will also discuss opening a branch for Alexandria University in Juba and launching Egypt sponsored development, energy, health and educational projects.

  • Jonglei Canal is a red line too! 25 October 2009 05:18, by Ajang Aguer Pageer

    Any thing else can be tempered with,but lives can not be handled carelessly.The thorny issue of Jonglei Canal should not be discussed at any cause,let alone implementing it!No matter how much assistance Egypt is willing to give Southern Sudan in exchange of Jonglei Canal project,no one should dare digging a grain of sand in any part of Southern Sudan in the name of diverting water to Egypt.

    After all,if Egypt claims to be technologically capable,then the easy way to get water is through Red Sea.No logic will allow Southern Sudan to turn its own land into a desert in these days of global warming in order to save Egyptians who only became friends when they are in need.

      There is one thing Egyptians should know,people of South Sudan nowadays are not like the people of South Sudan in the fast.We have alot of politicians,educated people in diffirent fields and many qualifiers in technology.Therefore,we can do our works alone, we don’t want any assistance from Arabs.Shame on Egyptians.How come they come today while they were the very people who colaborated with their fellow Arabs during the war.And thanks all southerners for being alert of Egyptians.

      I do not know whether president Kiir is firmed regarding his accusation aganist NCP that Bashir arms Southern Sudan malitias!! if so and as we all know then why and why Kiir use to discuss security matters with the one fuelling the case, does the president knows that by sharing information about security in the south with these criminals minds reveals the weakness of SPLA and allow NCP to create new strategies for the destabilization of the South by recruitting and arming unintended members?!!!!. As a head of the family you are not expected to discuss all your family matters with every one even with your own brother because every one might use that and consider you as a weak person. On the other hand, the world is now facing water shortage for development so if the south has no thing to do with water then south sudan land itself need to be green to produce feuits that grows naturally So I am saying no water deal with any country no matter what...

      reply

  • Bilateral relations with Egypt are vital and mostly welcoming, yet Jongoli Canal is not and issue to be re-negotiated at this time, Egypt has to prove good intentions towards Southerners and stop backing the NCP in the North, then and only then, the southerners will be ready to consider Jongoli Canal advantages and hazards to the local resident

    Thanks Salva Kiir Mayardit for your effort. We trust you since the struggle of North -South war. Wish you save journey to Egypt. By the way, tell to Eygpt that ressuming Jonglei Cannal will be equate to another war. Jonglei canal was part of South -North war and it should be equate to death because its destruction to people of Jonglei and the enviroment;for example in 1984 this cannal killed alot of animals, make area flooded, Masquitoes. Jonglei canal construction will be war.

        Don’t assumed things on your head, would you please leave Dinka Boy alone, he is 100% right on the topic, better than you.

        However this Canal issues is part of slavery, any one concern should go to Uganda first before meeting these poor leaders of Southern Sudan.

        I don’t like war”, but if come to the Canal issue, I will be the first to take up armies for war.

        May God bless Southern Sudan.

      Please don’t thank him this project will annihilate our area especially we those of Jonglei State , it has many disadvantages on the communties of Jonglei Stae, i don’t see the reason why you can thank him. I really disalike this Jonglei Canal project, i have seen and witnessed the disadvantages of it during the war.

      I DISAGREE WITH THOSE WHO ARE SUPPORTING JONGLEI CANAL PROJECT TO BE RESUME.

    Kiir will be mad if he accepts meeting Egyptian leaders to renegogiate the resumption of Jonglei Canal. Construction of Jonglei Canal is a red line for all Southerners!

    It is the only external challenge that unites all Southern and will force to go back to war no matter what amount of money Egyptians will give Southern Sudanese. By the way we don’t need that bloody Egpytian money because they have been the route of Southern Sudanese marginalization.

    To Kiir, play politics but be careful about Jonglei Canal issue because just talking about it will cost you your presidency. We are fed up with those bloody Arabs!

    Dear readers,

    Salva Kiir should be careful and try his level best to be skillful when dealing with these crocodiles, the Egyptians. The issue of Jonglei canal needs careful discussion. The implementation of the CPA is a sensitive area to Egypt and particularly the self-determination clause. Kiir should not change his colours based on which location he finds himself. He should tell what is right as it is. There are other bilateral relations that can be cemented with Egypt without compromising the position on the right to self-determination.

      Congratulations to you,for only saying that Jonglei canal’s issue needs careful discussion.It’s got to be evaluated carefully by weighing its outcomes.If at all positive benefits over-weighs negative ones,then should just be resurrected on considering favorable policy.

      Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!!!!

      At the first time in my life i will sleep deeply and pleasant, today South Sudan has grown as a polite nation.

      We are suppose to celebrate as a civilized nation, this day is a day of a self respect. I am so happy my dears of the comments we made today, i wish we should keep up my brothers, with out dividing our nation South Sudan, which will be an independent country tomorrow. So we will not feel shame in front of the world, specially the North will say they were very sure, that we are not responsible nation, they will proved to the whole world that we are tribalsm nations, as they always use to say.

      Therefore, we should not look at the tribes my dears, so the Almighty God will be able to hear us, and the world will help us, but if we keep writing on the web site about our hate.

      How could the world support us to get an independent? We must make sure that the whole world is connected, if they said those people are not eligible to become an independent state, we would not get a separate state through the international communities.

      Brothers, we need to maintain our image in front of the God, as well as international community.

      I hope we should not show that corrupted image of hopeless again, even if we do not like each other, must portend we like each other ,so we should not show it to our enemies that we don’t like each other, mean while, we are seemly proving to the world, that we are premature to become an independent state.

      We have to assure that the next period will not be for communities divisions, it will be a geographical divisions. Such as citizens from Bentiu are belong to Bentiu or Western of Nuer State as we were calling it before the president Gaffer Mohamed Nomeri named it as Unity state,as well as Upper Nile, Jongle, Awil, Warap Centeral Equatoria and so on. That is a civilized division of mature state.

      God Bless South Sudan, God Bless New Sudan, God Bless people of South Sudan.

      God hear our prayers. Amen !

    IS KIIR TOURIST??????

    Why is this man ever moving up and down? Doesn’t he have some to do? Has he reduce tribalism in South? Has he change the mind of his backward boys behavious?

    If he has not done any of the above why moving up and down like Tourist? Is he is visiting those places to learn from them or what?

    Those who are advising him please tell him to minimise his travelling and do something at home than just moving up and down.

Kiir is not moving up and down for nothing as you said but he is doing his job of being the president of the South. What do you expected from him?. You want him to sit in his office doing nothing.

  • The issue of Jonglei Canal can not be used as political topic. It is always unpalatable to hear it everytime Egyptians bring it up. We, the citizens of Jonglei know how to deal with it eventhough it is being made as a political topic over there. It does not worry us at all if they are just giving it a lip service there in Cairo. However, as far as I know, its resumption is very glimse!!!

    Enjoy your trip over there Mr. President, but making some deals in exchange of Jonglei Canal’s resumption, is something unwelcoming. You (President) should also keep in mind where to pay Egyptians back if anything goes into your government concerning the deal of the Canal, becasue I am pretty sure that canal will never be dug through the heart land of Jonglei.

    Further more President, you should also keep in mind the life that will be lost in the course of diversion.

  • Sudan First Vice president Kiir begins visit to Egypt 25 October 2009 06:56, by ngor martyn jok

    It’s quite wonderful seeing visits that would materialize to developmental projects in South Sudan.Tell Egyptians to stand behind the referendum for any outcome.Also,they got to see not only the trees in South Sudan but,should all look at the fundamental of the forest at large.

    However,did I see Jonglei Canal issue..it’s just nice to bring it back to renegotiation.It must be resurrected,and it must be completed since it’s left with only some miles away. Small brains are too many around, and they would refuse its resurrection.Just interested in telling you that,get down and make more research and you will appreciate its outcome. Don’t tell us stories in your research that Egypt’s government is still planning to resettle her indigenous communities along the nile to boost its projects.

    How I try to see it,it will control the volume of water that purges every year outside the state of Jonglei which ’s more of importance.We will never have the state developed with flooding that’s just a disaster every each day.Water must find its own level ,should be more under control to facilitate the development through out.

    Lastly,resurrection and renegotiation of Jonglei canal must be in such a way as to control the volume of water and promote developmental projects around its territories and make more conservation of the environment.

His tour to some African Countries doesn’t cause any thing bad to our people. It is even going to increase the foreign relationship to our government to be so strong enough and the hatred you have in your heart cannot make us reach to an expected future life atall. Unless we have to united ourselves all of us and eliminate totally what is so call tribalist conflict because tribal will not let,s acheived what we are expecting to get for ourselves in the South.

      Who is you to stop that can canal project from continuing? we need to see it being made in the South such that the process of electricity and agricultural schemes are established at here then to stay without proper place for practicing agricultural activities. Since we have our own government now in the south, we need all kinds of activities for development to start before referendum and we should not wait upto the time that we are about to seperate. How long guys do you think we shall depend on the food that is brought from North by arab trades? those who hate such kind of development not to be carried out in the South are not good people and i wish government will not listen to their advises. Sone Southerners are good people they are always against their own development and with such act our state will remain poor for eve. No one elsewhere is going to introduce all those kind of human need to us, it is we to wake up at the moment and begin to work on them and later the expart people may come and finalise them.

Our water is our natural resources, and Egyptians are trying to fool us and steal our water resources, to scatter our peoples again . Dear Jonglei Brothers if Salva Kiir attempt to resume Jonglei Canal , we should immidiately move toward Juba to overthrow him, or we rebel against him, simply because Jonglei will turn to Desert or Sahara and our poor people will loose our Livestocks, and Agricultural Lands as wellas fish, and we that our local people are depending on thses resources. Our climate will change the rain season will diminish. HIS EXECELLENCY THE VICE PRESIDENT SHOULD ONLY TALK ON/ABOUT HALAYEB, AND OTHER DIPLOMATC AFFAIRS, BUT NOT JONGLEI CANAL. Mighty Jonglei people who started started revolution in Bor and fought for decades to defeated the enemy can force you to step down Mr First Vice President, and I will initiate it.
