News - Eastern groups join SPLM

From the December 27 pdf media report published by the United Nations:
Three movements from eastern Sudan join SPLM (AlSahafa)
It has been agreed in principle that three eastern Sudan movements (Beja Congress for Reform and Development, the Eastern Front breakaway groups and the demobilized military personnel of the Beja Congress) will merge with the SPLM.

This agreement was reached after talks which continued for three weeks in Juba between the SPLM and representatives of the three movements.

The President of the Beja Congress for Reform and Development, Osman Musa Bawnin, told Miraya FM that they will establish the Beja Congress in the SPLM.

The United Nations monitors the media in Sudan, and compiles a daily pdf report, available here:
