December 6, 2011 (MOMBASA) - The retreat for the second group of more than 20 national ministers and deputy ministers from South Sudan began on Monday in Mombasa, Kenya. South Sudan ministers, Mombasa, Kenya, December 5, 2011 (ST)The vice president of South Sudan, Riek Machar, who has been chairing the retreat deliberations, and the minister of foreign affairs of Kenya, Moses Wetangula, officiated the opening of the second program. The first group of ministers and deputy ministers completed a one-week retreat in Mombassa in November, where issues of importance in governance were deliberated upon and experiences were shared. Wetangula reaffirmed the Kenyan commitment to continue supporting South Sudan in its economic development. According to James Gatdet Dak, Machar’s press secretary, Wetangula urged South Sudan and the Sudan to resolve the outstanding issues of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), the signing of which ended more than two decades of civil war in 2005. Wetangula urged the two Sudans to resolve the Abyei dispute, warning that this should be done within 24 months, before the situation becomes a chronic border dispute like the case of Kashmir between India and Pakistan.
