From Sudan-
Five Episcopal bishops representing different dioceses in various states of Southern Sudan on Monday joined voices calling for the referendum on southern independence to be conducted without deferral.
The bishops representing Mundri East and Iba in Western Equatoria state, Pacong, Yirol and Cueibet in Lakes state, called on the international community to closely pay attention to the conduct of the upcoming referendum on self determination for the people of Southern Sudan by supporting parties to the 2005 North-South peace deal.
The call came as high executive committees from the two parties resumed discussions on post referendum issues in Khartoum. SPLM delegation headed by the Secretary General and minister of Peace and CPA Implementation, Pagan Amum, has been in Khartoum since Sunday.
The letter bearing signatures of religious leaders also stated clearly that governments carry the mandate and authority of raising the living standards of the ordinary people. It also urged political leaders not to use the youth as political mercenaries in advancing their political agendas.
