New ministers in the Sudanese Government of National Unity were sworn in before President Omer al-Bashir in the Presidential Palace Thursday.
Three new presidential advisers, who were appointed by the president together with the seven new ministers on Wednesday, also took an oath of office in the same ceremony.
All the ten persons are members of the former rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), which took a surprising move of suspending its participation in the central government on Oct. 11 to protest against what it alleged of "a procrastination" in the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA).
The SPLM signed the CPA with the Sudanese government of President al-Bashir in January, 2005, to end the 21-year conflict between the north and the south of the country, which was termed as one of the longest civil wars in the African continent.
