The Sudanese government and the southern rebels in Sudan have agreed over the situation of two of the three margined areas in the center of Sudan. The Kenyan peace mediator, Lazaraos Simbayo, said that the two sides delegations who continue their meetings in Nivasha resort since the signing the wealth - sharing agreement by the end of 2003, have agreed on defining the fate of Jibal al-Nuba and the Blue Nile, but so far have not signed the agreement because they are still discussing the fate of the third margined area — Eibi. The spokesman for the southern rebels, Yasser Araman, explained that the two sides agreed for the two areas to enjoy self rule and to form a people's consultation commission. The movement demands full control on Jibal al-Nuba and the Blue Nile area and Eibi, despite the fact that geographically speaking, it is not part of the south where the movement is stationed.
