JUBA, 13 June 2012 [Gurtong] –President Salva Kiir said Monday his government will not accept any African Union (AU) decision backed by the United Nations Security Council that will be considered final and binding with foe Sudan if the conditions are not met.
President Kiir said the AU decisions backed by the UNSC appear to be favouring Sudan’s interest, adding that South Sudan will consider any decision on the border without ruling by arbitration in The Hague as biased.
“The way things are going Khartoum is being favoured and given the areas that do not belong to them. I personally will not accept such a decision because it will be biased”, President Kiir told lawmakers in Juba at resumption of sittings by the National Legislative Assembly.
He said South Sudan is committed to any peaceful means to resolve differences with neighbouring Sudan.
“We are not ready to accept any biased decision from anybody. It is therefore our wish to reach an agreement before anything happens. It will be unfortunate for Khartoum to use force to assert her claims. Should that happen, we reserve the right to self defense under the United Nations charter”, Kiir added.
The AU said last Thursday after talks between Sudan and South Sudan in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa that the two had agreed to a truce, giving in to calls by the international community.
Fresh talks resume on 20 June where the two sides will attempt to reduce tension that has risen, especially after the secession of South Sudan last July

By chiefabong11@gmail.com Kapsoya Estate is the third ranked best in Kenya when it comes to the way it was planned and it is a home to rich, middle class and poor people around east Africa, compared to Kipkaren centre, Huruma and Maili ine Kapsoya estate emerges to be the first in Eldoret the way the houses are arranged. Since it is the best, it has his disadvantages as well, during the rainy season the road leading to Kapsoya and any street in the estate impassable, compared to Kipkaren centre which all the streets are tarmacked, there is no single street in Kapsoya which is tarmacked, but to your surprise the planning map from municipal council of Eldoret shows that all the roads leading to Kapsoya estate are well tarmacked. Someone will fail to understand why the map is reading so when in real sense it is not. If you see Kapsoya from far you will admire to be staying there but just visit Kapsoya you will find out that there is no singe existing drainage to drain water during the
