The Presidents of Sudan Want to Change?

South Sudanese President Salva Kiir went on his first visit to Khartoum since the nation declared independence. He has come to an agreement with Sudanese to have talks and to reach a final solution to the continuing problems between the two countries. Kiir states that him and his government is ready to discuss a final agreement for all of the outstanding problems they have. Kiri says most of the problems are about the borders, security and mostly the economy. They would like to sign a final clean agreement as soon as possible. This is the first time they have agreed to work together in a while. Many years of violence and with there being a referendum in January, South Sudan separated from Sudan July. Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir want to have brotherly love between him and his new neighbor. The two countries are still at odd however, with the host issues when it comes to the borders, and sharing the oil revenues and the disputed oil-rich border district of Abyei. They have both agree upon committees to set a timetable to reach a final agreement.There have been five committees each focusing on a different topic. However tension has been rising between the two countries due to the conflicts the border Providences. Kiir states that "War is not a solution to our problems we have. The solution is sitting together and solving our problems."
