Assessment plus Evaluation Commission (AEC), Sir Derek Plumbly, said that major priorities for implementation of the north-south peace agreement could be achieved within this calendar year, but drew attention to the narrowing window for this opportunity.
The AEC, which has a small permanent staff, is tasked with monitoring the CPA. Its head is appointed by presidential decree. Plumbly was appointed in February 2008 as the second chairman of the AEC in succession to Ambassador Tom Vraalsen of Norway.
The other members of the commission are representatives the United Kingdom, Ethiopia, Kenya, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway plus the US – world participants whose stake in the AEC stems from their respective roles in forging the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement at Naivasha between the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement plus the Government of Sudan, which are also represented on the commission.
In a speech in Friendship Hall in Khartoum on Monday, Plumbly said “The time remaining for implementation is short. Only twenty months remain of the interim period. The narrowing window means that the pace of implementation must increase.” Then he went on to outline some positive indications plus made suggestions.
Describing a trip by the AEC to Blue Nile state, he suggested “a lot of what we saw plus heard was positive.”
First, he referred to redeployment of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) south of the 1/1/56 border. Second, he noted that he had observed discussion of integration of the police plus security services in the Kurmuk area, which the SPLA formerly controlled. Third, he remarked on the successful demobilization of 2000 Northern personnel, along with the arrival of the first 100 SPLA personnel at a demobilization centre.
Plumbly also went on to encourage the two peace partners to “make unity attractive” to the people of Southern Sudan before the referendum, while declaring “The right of the people of the south to self determination as set out in the agreement is unconditional.”
