“From this day forward, July 9 will celebrate the people of South Sudan’s efforts to build an independent nation based on the founding principles of equality and democracy. On behalf of the Liberal Party and our Parliamentary Caucus, I commend their courage and welcome them into the international community as a nation with its own voice. Continue reading
Following January’s referendum on independence, and after decades of international strife, South Sudan officially became a state on 9 July 2011. Only a day later, the General Assembly of the United Nations admitted South Sudan as its 193rd member.
Advocating cool heads and conciliatory negotiations on the remaining open issues with the neighboring Republic of Sudan, in particular on border delineation and oil-revenues, as well as on the internal democratic processes, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle (FDP, LI full member) urged all parties to find a way via negotiations to a peaceful solution: “The international community will do what it can to support a peaceful process.”
Among other liberal leaders who reacted to South Sudan independence was Bob Rae, Interim leader of the Liberal Party of Canada (LI full member), who appealed to the Canadian Conservative government to embrace the newly independent nation and formalize bilateral relations with South Sudan: “For too long southern leaders have not been permitted access to our nation and that restriction must end.”
