"We have warned from the start of the dangers represented by a referendum in the then-region of southern Sudan, fostered by the EU, US and UN, as well as by the majority in this Parliament. We warned that support for destroying the country’s unity would cause confrontation and the destabilisation of both 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 – the north is Arab/Muslim and the south is African/Christian – 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 need to advocate a peaceful political solution to the conflict, free of any 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 advocated in this resolution, might not constitute the necessary contribution to a genuine peace and unity process for this region."@en1
