Optimism and pessimism
There is a mix of optimism and pessimism in the State of South Sudan over Bashir's upcoming visit to Juba early next month for a summit between the two presidential elections.

While some believe that this initiative has yielded many positive results of the two countries, others think that the continuous exchange of accusations between the parties on the support of groups opposed to both reduce the chances of optimism stable and good relations between the two countries in the future.

He ruled out Abraham Malik, a journalist that enjoys the popular reception of the Sudanese President in Juba, and reasoned that since the independence of South Sudan last July, "Bashir is keen not to respect the sovereignty of the state's fledgling".

But Malik returned that this visit is important because it will create some sort of stability and peace between the two countries, adding "that will happen that the Government of South taw political will for a meeting and talks serve the interests of both countries."

Has announced an alliance of civil society organizations in southern Sudan in a statement received by Al Jazeera Net a copy of it, objected to the visit and asked the government to hand over Bashir to the Criminal Court and explained that the coalition that the man wanted in an international court.

Commenting on the statement, Malik described the call of those organizations without realism, because South Sudan did not become a member of the International Criminal Court, and that Juba had not spoken until now of any practical steps on accession to the Rome Statute system.
