From Sudan-
The Southern Sudan Referendum Ecumenical Observation Group comprising accredited international and domestic observers representing the All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC), the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences of Eastern Africa (AMECEA), the Sudan Council of Churches (SCC), the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM) and the World Council of Churches (WCC) wish to express solidarity with the people of Sudan in general and the people of Southern Sudan in particular at this momentous occasion when the people of Southern Sudan are preparing to cast their vote in the referendum on self-determination on 9 January, 2011.
The holding of the referendum on 9 January, 2011 will mark a watershed in the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) which was signed in Nairobi, Kenya on 9 January, 2005 between the Government of the Republic of the Sudan and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLM/A) and witnessed by representatives of many countries and organizations including the United Nations and the African Union. The Group has deployed about 87 international observers drawn from Africa, Western Europe and North America and 232 domestic observers in various parts of Sudan and in Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda.
