Bashir set to visit S Sudan to follow up Addis Ababa

Fire raging at the Yarmouk arms complex in Khartoum Sudanese President Omar Bashir is set to visit South Sudan shortly following the newly established amicable relationship between the two countries. In a statement published by the Sudanese state-run news agency SUNA, the minister of foreign affairs Ali Ahmed Karti announced that the joint Sudanese-South Sudanese political and security committee will meet next month in Juba.
\"The agreements signed in Addis Ababa by the two states were a good start for a new step in the bilateral relations,\" said the minister.
Karti said Sudan has embarked on regional and international movements in order to get the regional and international sympathy in regards to the Israeli \"heinous attack\" on the Yarmouk industrial complex last Tuesday.
The minister explained that many countries supported Sudan and that his country presented a complaint to the UN Security Council. HE said Sudan expected the complaint to be rejected because a US veto would protect Israel.
In the same context, the Sudanese Minister of Information, Ahmed Belal Othman, said that his government will soon reveal new information on the alleged Israeli air strike, including evidence proving that the missiles fired at the military industrial complex were Israeli-made.
Othman said that the final death toll of the strike reached four, as well as 65 injured. He declared that President Bashir has given orders to the government to pay compensations for those who were killed, injured or had their properties damaged in the attack.
Othman repeated his government\'s denial that Sudan is supplying the Palestinian resistance groups with arms, but he stressed that Sudan is backing the Palestinian cause.
