29 June 2011 Khartoum — The ruling National Congress Party (NCP) on Wednesday announced that they reached what it described as a "partial agreement" for the creation of a 20 kilometers demilitarized zone on the North-South borders monitored by civilians with checkpoints manned by Ethiopian peacekeepers. The Sudanese presidential assistant Nafie Ali Nafie made the announcement to reporters upon his return from Addis Ababa where he led the NCP delegation in negotiations with the Sudan People Liberation Movement (SPLM) mediated by an African Union (AU) panel headed by former South African president Thabo Mbeki. "We agreed on a buffer zone on the borders between North and South [that is] ten kilometers wide to the south and the north under the control of a civilian group and limited checkpoints [guarded] by Ethiopian troops" Nafie said
