The broad-based government of Khartoum State was sworn in Tuesday in the presence of Khartoum State Governor Dr. Abdul Rahman Al-Khidir.

Ibrahim Yousuf Abdullah Benj (LJM), Adviser to the Governor.

Dr. Al-Khidir explained that the appointment of Eng. Abdullah Benj as Advisor in State Government does not contradict the State Government's previous announcement that it would not appoint advisers, saying the State Government is committed to implement the Doha Darfur Peace Document (DDPD) which stipulates the appointment of an advisor for the state.

He described the task of the Minister of Economic Development and Consumer Affairs as difficult as it is directly linked to the community livelihood given the current circumstances. He said the Minister will be tasked to follow up the implementation of the recommendations of higher mechanism headed by the Governor, organize industry, investment, trade and markets.

Qutbi Attributes Change of US Tone and its Call on South Sudan to Reach Settlement with Sudan

Khartoum 17 Jan 2012 (Sudan Vision Daily)

Chairman of the Political Sector of the National Congress, Dr. Qutbi AL-Mahdi, said that the US administration managed to change its tone and to call on the Government of South Sudan to find a just settlement with Sudan, concerning the fees for crossing of oil and use of Sudan oil infrastructures and facilities, based to its (the US administration) keenness to see the interests of South Sudan government be guaranteed, especially that the stoppage of the oil supplies and its exportation through the North will harm the South government in a manner which is equal to any crises that would affect the North.
In a statement to the press at the Headquarters of the National Congress Monday, Dr. Al-Mahdi referred to former American understandings that underscored that Sudan shall be sanctioned for its commitment to the result of the referendum which led to the separation of South Sudan and departure of oil revenues with the aim to prevent occurrence of harms to South Sudan government as a consequence of any economic crises that could happen in Sudan.
He said that so-called transitional economic arrangements were permitted to allow Sudan take a share from the oil revenues for a certain period after the separation, in addition to enabling Sudan to benefit from the revenues from fees from the use of its infrastructures for the purpose of exportation.
Dr. Al-Mahdi said that the trend of South Sudan Government to escape these rights has motivated the US administration to adopt such a method so as to prevent South Sudan State from any harm that would result from threats to close the oil pipeline.
Meanwhile, Dr. Al-Mahdi described the visit of the delegation of South Sudan government to Khartoum as successful in determining priorities for the pending issues, adding that a fruit of this visit was the agreement on resumption of the negotiations in Addis Ababa.
