Sudanese First Vice President and Chairman of the former rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) Salva Kiir Mayardit announced on Monday that ministers of the movement would rejoin the central government in Khartoum after the holiday of Christmas.
"The constitutional post holders from the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) will resume their activities in the Government of National Unity immediately after the Christmas and the two partners had overcome the crisis," Mayardit said in an address to the Sudanese people on the occasion of the Christmas eve.
"There will never be a return to war," Mayardit said, adding that the two partners of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) had agreed to press ahead with the implementation of the agreement.
He called on the Sudanese citizens to show the spirit of reconciliation and forgiveness and work together to boost peace that had been realized in the country, stressing the importance of unity of ranks for facing the challenges of development and realizing peace all over the country.
The SPLM, which signed the CPA with the government led by President Omer al-Bashir on Jan. 9, 2005, announced on Oct. 11 a suspension of the participation of its eight ministers in the government, accusing its peace partners of procrastination in implementing the agreement.
This is the most serious political crisis for the Sudanese Government of National Unity since it was established following the signing of the CPA.
