                    South Sudan President to Visit Khartoum

   by Andrew Green

   South Sudanese President Salva Kiir will visit Khartoum this month,
   taking up the invitation extended by his Sudanese counterpart Omar
   al-Bashir when he visited  Juba in April, a government spokesman said
   Tuesday.
   Sudanese state media also reported that  Kiir will travel to Khartoum
   later this month.
   Bashir's visit to Juba was his first since South Sudan became an
   independent nation in 2011.
   During the visit to Juba by the Sudanese president, the two leaders
   discussed how to resolve outstanding issues that have prevented a
   cooperation agreement that was reached last year in Addis Ababa from
   being implemented.
   When the two men meet in Khartoum this month, the disputed, oil-rich
   territory of Abyei is likely to be at the top of the agenda, South
   Sudanese Information Minister Barnaba Marial Benjamin said.
   Kiir last visited Khartoum in October 2011, three months after South
   Sudan became independent.
