"We have warned from the start of the dangers represented by a referendum in South Sudan; that should be remembered. It was fostered by the EU, including the majority in this Parliament, the US and the UN We warned that support for destroying the country’s unity could escalate the confrontation and the climate of destabilisation between the two parties, potentially affecting the entire region.
Unfortunately, reality has borne out this warning, with the return of the conflict between north and south over defining borders. The US, the EU and Israel have exploited the conflict that has been going on since 2005, and which has exacerbated poverty, social injustice, ethnic and religious differences – between the Arab/Muslim north and the African/Christian south – and they have pushed these peoples towards secession for reasons relating to their own geostrategic interests and to taking advantage of the south’s considerable oil and sundry mineral resources. We advocate a peaceful political solution to the conflict, free of external interference, whilst supporting dialogue between the parties and mutually acceptable solutions to the problems of defining borders and sharing oil revenues. ‘Additional peacekeeping forces’ and ‘a continued UN presence’, as this resolution advocates, might not constitute the necessary contribution to a genuine peace and unity process for this region."@en1
