President warns south Sudan government Khartoum might apply a tit for tat policy with the SPLM

Khartoum, (Sudanow)– President Omar Bashir has said southern Sudan is giving him no choice but to work for the demise of Juba government led by the ruling Sudan people’s liberation Movement (SPLM) of President Salva Kiir.
According to the official Sudan news agency SUNA president Bashir who is also the Chairman of the ruling National Congress late Wednesday pointed out that the insistence of the ruling People's Movement in South Sudan to implement foreign agenda “obliges Sudan to work to confront all aggressions-emanating from South Sudan- with the view to overthrow the government in Khartoum, by carrying out a similar work to free the southern people from the domination of the People's movement.”
Bashir made his ever harshest statement against Juba since the south moved in and occupied a Sudanese borderline town of Higlig, during an address Wednesday at the headquarters of the ruling National Congress which is organizing a Mobilization campaign to counter the southern incursion.
Bashir was quoted as saying that getting rid of Kiir “represents an ethical responsibility “ arguing that the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement has enabled the People's Movement to rule in the South, therefore the North has a moral responsibility before the people of South Sudan to correct that situation.
Bashir also said Sudanese people would soon hear some good news from the field, Higlig, meaning that the southern forces would be repulsed out by army and the popular militias backing the army in the region.
But President Bashir has stressed his country “has no problem with the people of South Sudan” who were brothers and citizens and even included people who held fought against the then rebel Sudan people liberation army spla, now the ruling party in the south.
