“This is a historic credit to President Bashir and the NCP and I further urge him to continue working hand in hand with us to consolidate peace and prosperity for all irrespective of what the referendum holds in store for Sudan,” Salva Kiir
"The ball is in your court and the decision is yours. If you say unity, welcome. And if you say secession, also welcome, and welcome to a new brotherly state...We are going to cooperate and integrate in all areas because what is between us is more than what is between any other countries" Omar Al Bashir
It seems that gone are the days of blaming each other for stirring trouble. And with only a week left to go before the referendum, this is impeccable timing.
Now some may argue that this rhetoric is some devious propaganda strategy to set a baseline image of themselves as being the 'good guy', but I like to be naive and take it as good grace and a promising sign of peace. I guess both sides have come to terms with the strategic importance and benefits of cooperation.
“We will call and work for creating relations based on cooperation and promotion of common interests, and to present a role model in maintaining joint security and exchanging interests as well as looking after social relations and ties of blood, kinship and history,” Bashir
The beauty of it all makes me want to throw up......but I love it.
