"The Republic of South Sudan has only been in existence for 10 months, but has been at war with its neighbour in the North for eight months. More than 150 000 persons have been displaced, the fighting and bombing are relentless, and these two countries are wasting their resources in a conflict which merely adds to the tension in this region. It is time for Khartoum and Juba to comply with the resolutions of the African Union and the United Nations, put an end to hostilities and resume negotiations. The two new countries had pledged to settle the issues which had remained outstanding: the demarcation of the remaining 20% of the borders to be mapped out and the sharing of oil resources. It is in the interest of both the North and the South to reach an agreement. However, neither party should rely on the silence of the international community in the face of the humanitarian tragedy which is currently looming. If talks do not resume quickly between Khartoum and Juba, the United Nations will have to bring pressure to bear and take sanctions. China has decided to face up to its responsibilities. That is the right line to take. However, it is very important for the European Union to continue to affirm its position and its political presence, because our balanced position is the right one."@en1
