A quarter-century after the collapse of the Soviet Union, an event which resulted in the near-destruction of the country's once-proud civil aviation industry, Russia is looking to resurrect its production of civilian aircraft, from the Sukhoi Superjet 100 to the Ilyushin Il-114, German newspaper Handelsblatt reports.

Le président syrien Bachar el-Assad, dont la France réclame le départ du pouvoir, s'est démarqué samedi 14 novembre de l'élan général de solidarité suscité par le carnage de la veille à Paris. Il a déclaré que la politique française en Syrie avait contribué à « l'expansion du terrorisme ». Ailleurs au Proche-Orient et dans le monde arabe, les réactions étaient quant à elles marquées par la compassion et la dénonciation du terrorisme.

Juba on Thursday announced that the first vice-president designate Riek Machar will attend the gathering of the regional meeting, adding that its purpose was to build confidence between the two rival leaders to expedite the process of implementing peace agreement.

But the SPLM-IO said its leader would not take part in this event. The co-signatory of peace agreement pointed to the need to complete arrangement for its advance team to arrive in Juba and to resolve some of political and security issues in the peace agreement before.

South Sudanese ambassador in Khartoum Mayan Dut Waal on Saturday told Sudan Tribune that the IGAD summit was delayed to Thursday, adding that all the IGAD leaders including President Omer al-Bashir will be in Juba on 19 November.

The reason behind the delay was not clear, what informed sources said the measure aims to give more time for the former president of Botswana, Festus Gontebanye Mogae to settle the outstanding issues between the two sides.

Mogae who is announced last month as head of the IGAD monitoring commission for the implementation of peace agreement met Saturday with President al-Bashir to discuss the ongoing preparation to start the implementation of the peace deal signed last August.

In press statement to the official news agency SUNA the Sudanese presidency said Bashir reiterated his support for the peace process and stability in South Sudan, stressing that any political development in the neighbouring country affects directly the Sudan.

Sudanese sources that declined to be named told Sudan Tribune that Bashir told the visiting envoy he is aware of the accusations of support to rebels by the South Sudanese officials and denied such allegations.

The Sudanese president further advised the former president of Botswana to handle patiently the implementation process in order to achieve it.

November 14, 2015 (KHARTOUM) - The Sudanese government has condemned the deadly terrorist attacks that hit the French capital Paris on Friday night, saying they are "against all religious and human values".

Also several armed opposition groups expressed their solidarity with the French people and condemned the "heinous acts" on civilians.

Khartoum's foreign ministry spokesperson Ali al-Sadiq said in a written statement that his country sends its condolences to the government and people of France and the families and relatives of the victims.

Al-Sadiq also underscored Sudan's full solidarity with France and with the international community in supporting efforts exerted to combat violence and fundamentalism that runs against all norms and all religions and against all human values, as the traitorous hands were now targeting innocent people and spreading blind destruction around the world.

The Islamic State group (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for the bloody attack that hit Paris's most popular night-spots, including a sold-out concert hall, at restaurants and bars and outside France's national stadium.

Also, the diplomat confirmed that the Sudanese community in France is well and no casualties were recorded among them.

The coordinated terror attacks in the French capital targeted six sites where Parisians gather on Friday evening. French authorities said that some 129 were killed. The deadliest attack was at the Bataclan, a concert hall where 82 people died.

In separate statements extended to Sudan Tribune, the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) and Sudan Liberation Movement of Minni Minnawi (SLM-MM) condemned the mass terror attack and expressed their condolence to the families of victims, the French people and government.

"The cult of terror belongs to itself only, and should not be associated with a creed or a race or a nation. They should not be tolerated or provided shelter under any pretext or excuse," said JEM leader Gibril Ibrahim.

He further pointed that the perpetrators of these terrorists are "bent to destroy our lives and civilization unless we stand united in their face with absolute resolve".

From his part, Minni Minnawi, condemned the "killing of innocent people in the name of Islam" and called for a firm international response against terrorism.

"We also warn that terrorism has become a network funded by some regimes and we hope the world takes this fact seriously to face these regimes," Minnawi further said.

Media reports disclosed that Egyptian and Syrian passports have been found near the bodies of one of the attackers in different sites, hinting to the involvement of foreign nationals in the attacks, or at least that they were prepared outside the French territory. Only one French was identified among the attackers.

In an online statement released Saturday, Daesh claimed responsibility for Paris attacks and said that the operation was conducted by eight militants.

The terror group also said this attack was in response to airstrikes agonist its militants in Syria and Iraq. The statement further warned that France would remain one of its top targets.

The eight attackers - seven blew themselves up and one was shot by police - are the first to ever carry out suicide bombings on French soil.

The French president François Hollande on Saturday said his country is in war against the terrorist group, adding that his government was considering further actions against Daesh.

Le groupe Etat Islamique a déjà revendiqué les attentats à Paris, perpétrés selon l'organisation en représailles aux frappes en Syrie. Actuellement, le Royaume-Uni participe aux bombardements en Irak contre le groupe, mais pas en Syrie. Car le Parlement britannique a voté contre une intervention en 2013. Néanmoins, les événements en France font rebondir le débat autour de ces frappes.

At least 129 people were killed and more than 300 others wounded after terrorists carried out a coordinated attacks including several shootings, explosions and mass hostage taking in Paris.

On behalf of the government and People of Ethiopia, Prime Minister, Hailemariam Desalegn, on Saturday strongly condemned the terrorist attack and extended condolences to families of the victims

While deploring the attack and expressing condolences, Ethiopian foreign minister Tedros Adhanom, underscored a need for more global concerted effort for the fight against terrorism.

“Our sympathies and condolences to the families of the victims of the terror attack in Paris. Our solidarity with the people and government of France,” Adhanom said in a statement he wrote on his Face book page.

“The attack shows that no country is immune from terror attack. A comprehensive approach and effective coordination of our efforts to fight terrorism is more important than ever before,” he said.

French President Francois Hollande, called Friday night's attack an “act of war” carried out by ISIS, and vowed that France would react with a “merciless” fight against terrorism.

In a statement released on social media ISIS has claimed responsibility for the multiple attacks and said the attack was in retaliation to French's air strikes in Iraq and Syria.

The extremist group warned that Friday's attack was ‘just the start of a storm' and vowed to launch more attacks.

France joined the US, and carries out air attack on the positions of the terrorist in Syria since last September.

Early in January, extremists killed 18 people after attacking at the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical magazine which had been publishing controversial prophet Muhammad cartoons.

Friday's attack is the worst attack on a European soil since a terrorist attacks carried out in the Spanish capital Madrid in 2004, when series of bombs that exploded within minutes of each other on four commuter trains claimed the lives of 190 people and wounded more than 1,800.

While the G20 Summit opened today in the Turkish city Antalya, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he will stress to world leaders that the global response to terrorism needs to be robust, but always within the rule of law and with respect for human rights.

On the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is highlighting that despite improvements in road safety, the world still faces some shocking injury and fatality figures.

November 14, 2015 (BOR/ADDIS ABABA) – A South Sudanese armed opposition (SPLM-IO) official has dismissed claims that their forces carried out an attack at a village in Twic East county of the country's largest state.

The county commissioner, Dau Akoi said at least 20 people, mainly women and children, were killed during Friday's attack by rebels in Maar village.

“It is a disaster, two young kids were killed, and eight women of various ages, and 10 men. There is evidence that the attacked was carried out by the rebels of Riek Machar in the area. We could tell from the dead body of one of their fighters. He is a Nuer man,” he told Sudan Tribune by phone.

Among those killed, the commissioner said, was a local chief whose name was withheld.

“This is a violation of the peace agreement signed by the government and the rebel movement,” he said, urging the East African regional bloc (IGAD), African Union and the international community to intervene in the matter.

But the armed opposition leader's spokesperson, James Dak refuted allegations that their forces attacked a village Twic East county Friday.

“We are not responsible for the reported attack in Twic East county. There is no reason for us to attack civilians in villages. Our forces have not attacked anybody in the area,” he told Sudan Tribune Saturday.

Meanwhile, Dak welcomed the arrival of the assessment team into South Sudan's Unity state. The team, composed of members of the United Nations Security Council and IGAD visited Leer county on Friday to assess the human rights violations in the oil-rich region.

The assessment team, he said, also visited opposition held territories in the area to acquaint themselves with the recent human rights violations committed by South Sudan's warring parties. Dak, however, claimed government forces were on offensive in violation of the ceasefire, targeting both bases of opposition forces and civilian settlements in the area, resulting to death of dozens and displacement of thousands last week.

November 14, 2015 (ADDIS ABABA) - South Sudanese armed opposition fighters (SPLA-IO) led by former vice-president, Riek Machar, said they welcomed the declaration of the youth fighters in Western Equatoria state, known as the Arrow Boys, to join the opposition forces in the country.

The Arrow Boys, according to opposition leader's spokesman, commanded by their leader, Alfred Karaba Futiyo Onyang, have declared joining the SPLA-IO and vowed their allegiance to the leadership of the SPLM-IO.

“SPLM/SPLA welcomes the Arrow Boys in Western Equatoria state under the command of Alfred Karaba Futiyo, in their recent declaration to join the Movement,” said James Gatdet Dak, in a statement he issued on Saturday.

The commander of the arrow boys, Futiyo, also told Sudan Tribune that over 10,000 armed youth composing the arrow boys under his command from various communities in Western Equatoria state, have on Thursday declared joining the SPLA-IO.

Opposition leader's spokesman, Dak, welcomed the decision of the defection by the arrow boys and blamed the government of President Salva Kiir for pushing the youth fighters into making the decision.

He said the government was not committed to peace and had been carrying out attacks against the SPLA-IO and other armed groups in the country.

Last week, clashes occurred between the South Sudanese army (SPLA) and the Arrow Boys in Tombora area, resulting to killing of Tombora commissioner by suspected elements from the government forces, when they were ambushed on their return from a peace mission in an attempt to reconcile the government forces and the armed youth fighters.

Dak also said government forces have continued to attack opposition's bases in the oil rich Unity state.

November 14, 2015 (KHARTOUM) - Sudan's embassy in Cairo has submitted a memo to the Egyptian foreign ministry inquiring about mistreatment of Sudanese nationals in Egypt by police and national security.

There were media reports that several Sudanese citizens who arrived in Cairo for various reasons said that police and security services have stopped them on public streets and seized their money.

Sudan's Consul General in Cairo Khaled El-Shiekh told al-Youm al-Tali newspaper Saturday that the consulate submitted a memo to the Egyptian foreign ministry inquiring about the recent search and detention campaigns carried out against the Sudanese nationals.

He disclosed the consulate received complaints from several Sudanese who have been detained after they exchanged amounts of US dollars to Egyptian pounds without getting receipts.

According to the memo which was seen by Sudan Tribune, the consulate pointed the Egyptian foreign ministry didn't respond to a similar memo it submitted on November 1st.

The memo pointed that bad treatment by police and national security has recently increased against Sudanese nationals, saying that conduct is unacceptable and inconsistent with the deep ties and agreements signed between the two nations particularly the four-freedom agreement.

El-Shiekh said he visited the Sudanese detained in various police stations in Cairo, adding the prosecution office noted the measure was not only intended for the Sudanese but it applies for all foreign nationals in Egypt.

Meanwhile, Sudan's foreign ministry spokesperson Ali al-Sadiq told reporters Saturday that the Sudanese embassy in Cairo has clear directives to look after the Sudanese nationals and make sure they are being well treated.

He said they are confident that Egypt's foreign ministry would investigate the issue, stressing the strong ties between Khartoum and Cairo would enable them to overcome any misunderstanding.

November 14, 2015 (JUBA) - The United States aid arm (USAID) has extended the International Organisation for Migration [IOM]-USAID Abyei Rehabilitation Initiative funding until 2018.

Started in January 2013, the programme was designed to mitigate the risk of conflict and promote recovery in Abyei Administrative Area, a territory of more than 10,000 square kilometres contested by Sudan and South Sudan.

The initiative, officials said, came into effect in response to unmet needs related to armed conflict, displacement and longstanding intercommunal tensions in the disputed oil-producing region. Its first phase reportedly focused on reconstructing infrastructure in Abyei town, much of which was destroyed in the May 2011 armed attack.

Abyei's unresolved status means the region still require support to uplift and improve facilities like roads, schools, hospitals and other services.

According to IOM, the programme shifted its focus toward reinvigorating economic activity in Abyei and improving access to livelihood and educational opportunities in mid-2014.

“With the support of partners, IOM and USAID conduct vocational and informal livelihood trainings, teach business skills and English literacy, and engage students in peacebuilding and conflict mitigation activities,” it said.

The trainings reportedly place strong emphasis on supporting women and youth, representing the first educational opportunities for many students.

Since its inception, 670 people have reportedly completed the training courses. Over next two years, IOM and USAID will reportedly continue to focus on expanding livelihood opportunities, infrastructure projects and peace building activities, as well as improving the agriculture and livestock sectors in the disputed region.
