September 22, 2015 (BENTIU) - The caretaker governor of Unity state, Joseph Nguen Monytuel has, in the wake of the proposed formation of the transitional government of national unity, appointed four new ministers and an equal numbers of state advisors.

Governor Monytuel made these changes through a gubernatorial decree he issued on Monday.

The caretaker governor appointed Chuol Biel as minister of cabinet affairs, Simon Chol becomes minister of parliamentary affairs, Joseph Juoi Gathot to Trade and commerce while Tot Dhieydor Tutroal takes over environment and natural resources ministry.

Monytuel also nominated Mawiech Chilieny and Maluok Matai as security and economic advisors respectively. Others are Apollo Maluit and William Bajuoi Makuet.

A member of South Sudan's ruling Sudan People Liberation Movement (SPLM) told Sudan Tribune, that Monytuel wanted the new group to get a share of the national cake.

“I think the decision by the caretaker governor was to give those who have not held any positions to get something ahead of the formation of upcoming government in the state. We appreciate this step, because most of these comrades have been standing with us for long, and it is time to reward them although it is a short period,” the official, who asked not to be named.

Others, however, say the increase in the numbers of ministers and advisors was to balance positions among counties which beneffitted during 20 months of conflicts.

In 2013, the former governor, Taban Deng Gai reduced ministers to nine after austerity measures were initiated when oil was shut in Unity and Upper Nile states in 2012.

September 22, 2015 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese government disclosed on Tuesday that it has been unable to raise its production of oil due to the global slide in crude prices.

Sudan has been pushing hard to increase its oil production particularly after the secession of South Sudan in 2011 taking with it about 75% of the country's oil reserves.

The minister of oil Mohammed Zayed said that oil companies are reluctant to fix damaged wells in light of the dramatic decrease in world oil prices and the need for injecting more capital for repairment.

He said that the steep decline in oil prices from $110 a barrel last year to $47 has disrupted the economies of production for these companies.

Zayed declared that the government reached series of understandings with these companies on measures that would help raise oil production such as reducing production costs leading to improved profit margins.

"You can undertake simple processes to boost oil production by 10,000 barrels per day," he said.

Last May Sudan said it hoped to increase the daily oil production from 120,000 barrels per day to 150,000.

Au Congo-Brazzaville, l'administration électorale a lancé mardi 22 septembre une opération de révision des listes électorales dans la perspective de la présidentielle de 2016. La durée de cette opération qui s'arrête le 26 septembre est jugée « trop courte » par l'opposition qui pense également que la matrice de ces listes, tirée du recensement spécial de 2013, est elle-même « fausse ». Dans le même temps, Denis Sassou-NGuesso a annoncé l’imminence d’un référendum pour modifier la Constitution afin qu’il puisse briguer un nouveau mandat.

September 22, 2015 (KHARTOUM) - European Union (EU) ambassadors in Khartoum called upon the Sudanese government to conduct an independent investigation into the deadly protests of September 2013.

Demonstrations broke out in several Sudanese states that month following the government's decision to lift fuel subsidies. Rights groups said that at least 200 people were killed but the government put the death toll at 85.

Following a wave of criticism, Sudanese authorities said they formed a commission of inquiry into the protests which were the deadliest of their kind against the regime.

However, the findings of the investigation are yet to be revealed.

Last month, the Sudanese president Omer Hassan al-Bashir directed the Ministry of Justice to compensate the families of victims of the protests.

EU mission in Khartoum said in a statement Tuesday that envoys of EU countries in Sudan have recently discussed the protests which erupted in September 2013.

“Ambassadors of EU countries have welcomed the government decision to compensate families of the victims and noted that justice couldn't only be achieved by financial reparations”, the statement reads.

The statement added that Sudanese authorities are still far from conducting an effective and independent inquiry into the killings and other human rights violations which took place during the protests.

The EU ambassadors further renewed their call to the Sudanese government to conduct an independent investigation that holds the perpetrators fully accountable for their acts.

Earlier this month, the Chairman of the Security and Defense subcommittee in the Sudanese parliament and head of the investigation committee Ahmed Imam al-Tuhami, said that losses resulting from vandalism during the protests are estimated at 30 billion pounds (SDG).

He added that several cases have been filed by families of victims against policemen accusing them of opening fire on the protestors.

Al-Tuhami pointed out that the protests were carried out by students and ordinary citizens against lifting fuel subsidies, saying those protestors didn't involve in the looting and vandalism.

“However, some saboteurs [protestors] took advantage of the protests to carry out acts of looting and theft”, he said.
