The Sudanese government has some reservations, but does not reject outright a new proposal put forward by the US-based Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) to end the civil war in Sudan, a Sudanese official told IRIN.
Sudanese media reports had said that the President of Sudan, Omar El-Bashir had rejected the recommendations made by CSIS in its report entitled "US Policy to End Sudan's War", released on 26 February. But the official denied these reports and told IRIN: "the President expressed reservations on the two system-one state call made in the report". According to the official the report calls for a form of "confederation" which is not acceptable to the Sudan government. The official said that Sudan will welcome any initiative that will contribute to peace and was in favour of unitary state with federal system," along the lines of the US system".
The report, "US Policy to End Sudan's War" is available on the CSIS website: http://www.csis.org/press/ma
