Sudanese lawmakers accepted “with reservations” a United Nations Security Council resolution that calls for Sudan and South Sudan to end hostilities, said Ahmed Ibrahim al-Tahir, the head of parliament.
The 15-member council unanimously passed a resolution on May 2 calling for the withdrawal of all forces from disputed territories, an end to air raids by the north and a negotiated solution to the issue of payments by South Sudan for shipping oil to Port Sudan in the north.
“The National Assembly approves the UN Resolution 2046 on our relationship with South Sudan,” al-Tahir told members of parliament today in the capital, Khartoum.
