The senior government official made the remarks on Sunday following his arrival in the Sudanese capital Khartoum where a meeting of joint border committee is taking place to discuss the process of solving disputes between the two neighboring countries over a number of areas along their border.
“There are some people who think that negotiation of borders is an event and as such they are surprised when they see the committee every time moving, coming and going without tangible results being seen [while] in fact negotiation of border issues is one of the difficult issues it is not an event, [but] it is a process,” Makuei told reporters.
Since secession of South Sudan from Sudan to become the world’s youngest country in 2011, the two countries have been contesting the border areas of Abyei, Kaka El Tijariya, Debbat El Fukhar/Megenes Mountains, Bahr El Arab, and Kafia Kingi/Hafrat El Nukhas.
During a 2012 debate on Al Jazeera TV, Taban Deng Gai, then Unity state governor, now one of South Sudan’s five vice-presidents, said disputed areas also include Panthoara (Heglig), in Unity state, and Jebeleen in Upper Nile state.
Makuei went on to claim that Sudan and South Sudan are better in negotiating end to their border disputes than some of the advanced countries pointing to the disputed areas between the United states and Canada which he said is an outstanding dispute that has not been resolved.
“South Sudan is experiencing it now but even the most advanced countries up to now have not resolved their issues of borders and I believe that we may be better than them because our problem, our dispute, is not that difficult but it is being complicated by others. Some of the countries like America and Canada, the borders of America and Canada have not resolved up to now,” Makuei said.
“Come here even to Sudan, the border issues between Egypt and Sudan are not resolved, so, it is not a simple task it is a negotiation our people should be patient and we should also differentiate between the JPSM and the JBC. JPCM is a political and security mechanism and this is the body in charge of the establishment of the corridors, not the joint border commission,” he added.
He further said the corridors being opened between South Sudan and Sudan to enable trade between the two countries are “temporary arrangements being done by the agreement and in accordance with the provisions of the agreement, but the task of determining the borders falls with the Joint Border Commission and this is what we are doing. So, these corridors which are being established at presence may be affected in a way or another when we agree on the borders.”
“So, this is the difference and our people should understand it that we are not here for the corridors, we are here to negotiate the actual and final boundaries between the two countries.”

“Makuei says ending border disputes with Sudan ‘not an event’ but lengthy, ‘difficult’ process”
Michael Makuei Lueth is ‘a first grade lawyer than many of our lowly educated lawyers from the University of (Kiirtoum) Khartoum, North Sudan’ He joined the SPLM/A and he has never went and further his lawyering education like many some other South Sudanese. North Sudan is not very difficult for us to walk over and be done with the evils, we don’t want the vermins recurring again in 10 (ten) years. We are just waiting every rubbish from *Bantus-lands, of evil white people in South Africa, Lesothos, Botswana, Zimbabwean, Malawian, Namibians, Angolans, Democratic republic of Congo (D.R.C/Zaire), Central Africa republic (C.A.R); all the Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese, Bangladeshis, some Sri Lankans and we (we may not kill the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka, they don’t any relation with South Sudanese or our Egyptians whatsoever. But ‘the Tamil Tigers took up arms in 1983 like our mighty SPLM/A’ they lost the war, we won the war. We are the Ancient Egyptian fools.
Here in South Sudan, Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans and some of their creeps in between are going to be *bombed into the Nile and get away with it reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM. The so-called *Indian internet from ‘port of Mombasa isn’t well here in into South Sudan. We will take it from Kenya and Uganda and get away with it if South Sudan and South Sudanese people are so desperate for *for a SPY scam*.
A few years ago, the Indians were even trying “to be the ones helping African country of Mozambique after ‘a cyclone hit—-Mozambique people are affected by cyclone anyway on in the so-called Indian ocean. We have ‘anti-cyclone idiots’. Being called *Indians Ocean*doesn’t mean, Indians have anything to do with Indian Ocean or US.
Indians are piece of trashes, Here in Upper Nile, some of their so-called East Indies were brought here to be resettled in South Sudan. Go and find the low lives in Cameroon (so-called Anglophone Cameroon). Our Bantuses have never learned anything. Here in our Nilotic plains and valleys, we just respect Bantuses simply because they are African like us, but Bantuses are not equal with us in everything in Africa.
I studied in Nakuru High school, Kenya, rift valley with many Bantuses boys/girls, Kalenjins/Nandis/Maasais—-Nakuru High school is Kalenjins/Nandis/Maasais country, but Kenyans had moved on from little tribal nonsense. Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankans and other Asian slaves used to bully the Bantuse/ Kalenjins/Nandis/Maasais boys/girls; not to study with white people, Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans or Arabs children in their own country, really?!! *The Indians used to be called indented people*
here in South Sudan, we don’t have any problem with per see, but we are going to bomb them out of South Sudan with white people out of South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, with Tanzania, they are not there, In Kenya, there are a lot Indians, they even have their so-called Guru Nanak–along Thika highway, In Uganda, Mr. Idda Amin Dadda went and fought in Korean war as a mercenary of the United Kingdom, and went he came back, to Uganda, he came kicked out Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankans and white people out of his his country.
Mr. Idda Amin Dada, was south Sudanese though. Watch out fellows.
