Lokichokkio-Kapoeta road corridor planned

    ABIDJAN

    Both the government and rebels "reaffirmed their strong commitment to the opening of the Lokichokkio-Kapoeta cross-line corridor" through both the direct route (via Narus, Lolin and Buno) and the detour route (via Narus, Napotpot, Nakachori). It was agreed that arrangements should be made immediately to de-mine the direct route and that an assessment of the detour route should also be completed by February 2000. The UN is also to
    establish an office in Kapoeta for the receipt and distribution of humanitarian goods. "We have made good progress. We have created a basis for improving access, protection of beneficiaries and security," said Tom Vraalsen, UN Special Envoy for Humanitarian Assistance in Sudan.
