Khartoum - Members of the government delegation have expressed optimism over the coming round of negotiations in Addis Ababa on the Two Areas, the Blue Nile and

South Kordofan States.
Member of the government negotiating delegation Dr. Hussein Ibrahim Karshom, speaking in a symposium organized by Youth Secretariat of the National Congress Party on the peace negotiations under the title “opportunities and challenges”, has said that they would go to the negotiations with agreements with SPLM-N, pointing out that the SPLM-N has accepted cessation of hostilities and we approved cease-fire and that the movement approved the American initiative and the government also agreed on it and the two parties agree on ways for delivery of humanitarian relief to the affected peoples in the two area.
What then remained, Karshom wondered.
He said now there is agreement on the real issues unlike in the previous rounds of negotiations.
