Sudan, South Sudan to hold new summit on Saturday Global Times 18/07/12 - Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and his South Sudanese counterpart Salva Kiir Mayardit will hold another meeting under the auspices of the African Union on Saturday in an effort to resolve the outstanding issues between the two countries, local media reported Wednesday. "There are ongoing arrangements led by the African Union High- Level Implementation Panel on Sudan (AUHIP) to convene a new presidential summit on the coming Saturday between Presidents Omar al-Bashir and Salva Kiir Mayardit in Addis Ababa," Sudan's Al- Sahafa daily reported. Al-Bashir and Kiir held a summit earlier this month on the sidelines of the 19th summit of the African Union in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa to push the negotiations between the two countries' on resolving their outstanding issues. Sudan and South Sudan have been negotiating in Addis Ababa on many issues including oil sharing, border demarcation and the status of the oil-rich area of Abyei. The Sudan-South Sudan negotiations broke down due to the armed clashes between the two countries' armies in the oil-rich area of Heglig last April, but restarted last Thursday at the Ethiopia city of Bahar Dar at the request of the AUHIP.
