Pretoria - The Chairperson of the Commission of the African Union (AU), Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, has welcomed the convening of a meeting between Sudanese President Omar Hassan Al Bashir and South Sudanese President Salva Kiir Mayardit in Addis Ababa on Friday.

The summit takes place under the auspices of the Chairperson of the Inter-Governmental Authority Development (IGAD), Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn of Ethiopia, and the Chair of the AU High-Level Implementation Panel (AUHIP), former South African President Thabo Mbeki.

"[Dlamini Zuma] is deeply encouraged by the convening of the summit meeting. She expresses the hope that this meeting will enable the two presidents to agree on the best means of overcoming the challenges encountered in the implementation of the landmark agreements on the post-secession relations between their countries, concluded under the auspices of the AUHIP in Addis Ababa on 27 September 2012, as well as to find solutions to the pending issues of the Abyei Area and the borders.

"It should be recalled that at its 349th meeting held in Addis Ababa on 14 December 2012, the AU Peace and Security Council (PSC) welcomed the willingness of the two presidents to meet and encouraged the convening of the meeting in the shortest possible time, in order to remove bottlenecks on all pending issues," said the AU in a statement.

The PSC also agreed to convene at the level of the Heads of State and Government, on the margins of the forthcoming AU Summit in Addis Ababa in January 2013, to review all outstanding issues arising from the 24 April 2012 PSC Communique and Roadmap. - SAnews.gov.za

Pretoria- South Africa is concerned about the situation in the Central African Republic said the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (Dirco).

As part of contributing to the efforts to bring about peace and stability in that country, President Jacob Zuma deployed Defence and Military Veterans Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula to go and assess the situation on 31 December said Dirco.

"South Africa condemns the continued attacks on several towns perpetrated by the coalition of armed groups, which undermine the Libreville Comprehensive Peace Agreement and threaten the civilian population, as well as the stability of the Central African Republic.

"We demand that the armed groups immediately cease hostilities, withdraw from captured cities and cease any further advances towards the city of Bangui. We call on all parties to refrain from any acts of violence against civilians and to respect human rights."

The department also called on all parties to seek a peaceful solution by engaging constructively in political dialogue.

"We welcomed the reaffirmation by CAR President Francois Bozize to work towards a negotiated solution to the current crisis in his country. South Africa supports the efforts undertaken by the Economic Community of the Central African States (ECCAS) to solve the crisis," it said.

President Jacob Zuma has held discussions with several leaders in that region.

"Accordingly South Africa welcomes the Final Communique, of the Extraordinary Summit of the Heads of State of the ECCAS, held in N'Djamena on 21 December 2012. We call on all the parties to abide by the decisions of the ECCAS Summit and to engage in good faith in the negotiations."

It added that as a member of the African Union, South Africa rejects any attempt to seize power by force.

"We would therefore support sanctions and other measures against the perpetrators of any unconstitutional change of government and their total isolation." -SAnews.gov.za
