WASHINGTON, April 11, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In yet another unwarranted act of aggression, South Sudan and its proxy forces again heinously attacked and occupied Heglig on April 10th, an area that is indisputably a Sudanese territory. The assault comes in the midst of strenuous peace-building efforts exerted by the African Union High-level Implementation Panel (AUHIP) whose chairman recently visited with both countries to push for dialogue. This attack is in direct contravention of those efforts and therefore clear proof that South Sudan is neither serious nor interested in forging peace with Sudan. This latest incident also reinforces the ominous culture of impunity, which enables South Sudan and its proxies to launch attacks in Sudan killing scores of innocent civilians and t...

WASHINGTON, June 16, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is being issued by the Embassy of the Republic of the Sudan: The security threat in Southern Kordufan is a great concern to the Government of Sudan. Peace has been in constant jeopardy with the presence of the SPLA armed militia groups operating in the midst of civilians. Per the terms of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), these remnants like other armed entities were supposed to have joined either the Southern or the Northern armies. This is clearly and unequivocally stated in the security arrangements of the agreement, which mandate the prompt implementation of a program for Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) of these forces, a process chaired by a British scholar and one that is supposed to be ...

This is a notice of a waiver determination under Section 202(d)(4)(A)(ii) of the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003, as amended by the Tom Lantos and Henry J. Hyde United States Global Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Reauthorization Act of 2008 (the ``Leadership Act''). The Leadership Act requires that the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator withhold from the U.S. contribution to the Global Fund an amount equal to expenditures by the Global Fund in the previous fiscal year to governments of countries that have been determined to have repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism in accordance with section 6(j)(1) of the Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. App. 2405 (j)(1)) (the ``6(j) list''). The g...

WASHINGTON, March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Sudan condemns Congressman Wolf's illegal entry into the country which he admits to and says specifically that he went through the "SPLM-N controlled areas of Southern Kordofan." We have laws against such border crossings which deserve to be respected by foreigners just as the laws of the United States prohibiting illegal entries demand to be observed and require individuals to obtain proper visas. Also, those journalists who illegally sneak into the country such as New York Times' Nicholas Kristof and Ann Curry of NBC, jeopardize their own safety and that of others. It's worth noting that both of these journalists were previously granted visas and Mrs. Curry in fact sat face to face with the president Moreover, in his report, the con...

In just 100 days in 1994, about 800,000 Rwandan people, or 11 percent of the total population (including 84 percent of the Rwandan Tutsi), were brutally slaughtered. As the death toll rose and bodies piled up on the streets of Rwanda, senior U.S. officials continued to prioritize issues in Bosnia, Haiti and North Korea, and avoided labeling the Rwandan crisis "genocide." While discussions over a possible intervention persisted at the lower levels of the U.S. government, State Department lawyers, under the direction of then-Secretary of State Warren Christopher, refused to call the atrocities in Rwanda "genocide." Some policymakers, most notably then-Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Prudence Bushnell, argued forcefully for intervention to stop the massacres. Ye...

CHICAGO, March 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Since last June, more than 130,000 refugees--and counting--have entered South Sudan and neighboring countries to escape fighting on the border of Sudan. As the situation worsens, the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) is providing food, water, and shelter. Living in a country where malaria is the leading cause of death among children under five, the refugee families in South Sudan need another life-saving tool: insecticide-treated bed nets. To meet this need, the United Nations Foundation's Nothing But Nets campaign launched a nationwide appeal today to send 100,000 life-saving bed nets to help these families sleep safely. Broadway shows in many Nederlander theaters across the U.S. are fundraising, while NBA star Stephen Curry of the Golden Sta...
