South Sudan and Uganda have signed an agreement to demarcate border between the two countries, reports said on Saturday.The two countries have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in Juba including the formation of a technical committee to demarcate their borders.
South Sudan minister of foreign affairs Barnaba Benjamin Marial said the border committee sets up the two countries for a “win-win situation�. He stated that they need a border policy that allows citizens to cross easily between the two countries.
“Soft borders will serve the two communities so that it will make it easy for our people to move across the border without problems so that they understand these borders have been put there but it does not stop them from crossing the border to get salt from the other partner” the minister added.
Meanwhile, the head of the Ugandan delegation Ebunyu Wilson Ogaro, said that the joint committee will work together to define their borders using modern equipment like GPS together with available maps.
