The issue of unity concerns all the Sudanese - Nafie
Monday 10 May 2010

Sudan’s unity does not only concern the National Congress Party (NCP) and
Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) but all the Sudanese political
forces.

a meeting with the visiting Eritrean delegation led by Osman Saleh, minister
of foreign affairs who was in Khartoum to congratulate the Sudanese
president for his re-election last April.
Presidential adviser Yemane Ghebremeskel, who is also director of Eritrean
president office, told reporters Sunday in Khartoum they transmitted
congratulations of president Issayas Afeworki to his Sudanese counterpart on
the occasion of his victory in the presidential race.
He further said Eritrea is keen on the unity of Sudan’s people and land,
expressing hope that the upcoming referendum leads to a comprehensive unity.
He also renewed Eritrea support to the ongoing Darfur peace process in Qatar
stressing they are with every Sudanese effort to achieve a just and
comprehensive peace in Darfur.
Nafie told reporters that the unity of Sudan is not an issue of the NCP and
SPLM alone, but rather of all the Sudanese people through its various
orientations and political parties. He also reiterated the NCP support and
readiness to any action that would lead to the unity of Sudan in cooperation
with the SPLM and the other political forces.
He also described the Eritrean-Sudanese relations as "eternal", adding that
Sudan agrees with Eritrea in many national and regional issues.
In the past, President Afwerki denounced corruption in southern Sudan and
its reluctance toward the unity of Sudan.
Eritrea in the past supported the SPLM and the Sudanese opposition in their
war against the Islamist government in Khartoum which had backed the
Islamist Eritreans.
