South Sudan’s Minister of Information and Broadcasting Michael Makuei says that a meeting of the Joint Border Demarcation Committee between Sudan and South Sudan will be held in Malawi in late November.
In an interview with Radio Tamazuj yesterday, Makuei said that the joint border demarcation committee which concluded its meetings in Addis Ababa last week agreed that the technical border demarcation committee should submit a report to the joint committee in preparation for the start of the border demarcation on the agreed areas by both parties.
The government spokesman pointed out that the African Union Border Programme recommended that the next meeting of the joint border demarcation committee be held in Malawi in order to benefit from the experience of border demarcation between Tanzania and Malawi.
“So we agreed on this issue, the AU Border Programme said the next meeting will be held in Malawi because in Malawi there was a border demarcation,” he said.
“They want to show us their experience and how they dealt with differences on the borders, The issue of Malawi was successful, that’s why we want to take it as an exemple,” he added.
