Sudanese churches appealed on the two signatories of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) to resolve their difference over the referendum law n order to organize it in due time.
The call which is released on August 14 is signed by Catholic Church of Sudan; Episcopal Church of Sudan; Presbyterian Church of Sudan; Coptic Orthodox Church; Sudan Interior Church; African Inland Church; Sudanese Church of Christ; Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church; Sudan Pentecostal Church; Greek Orthodox Church; and Greek Catholic Church.
In call issued at the close of its 17th General Assembly in Khartoum, the Sudan Council of Churches appealed to the CPA signatories, the National Congress Party (NCP) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM), "to seriously and urgently work to resolve their differences to pave the way for the referendum law to be passed in time for the required process to follow."
The appeal after the stalled talks between the two parties over the required percentage of votes to declare it favoring independence, the population allowed to vote, determining the post-referendum process and the share of Sudan’s debts the South would carry with it if it secedes.
However, the Sudanese First Vice President Salva Kiir Mayadrit Kiir speaking from the Blue Nile State on Wednesday said that both parties will overcome their differences and approve a draft bill of the referendum law.
The joint appeal also urged the Government of Southern Sudan to improve security in the South, "particularly in regard to the LRA incursions." And to bring charges against those involved in corruption and malpractice.
