Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Ethiopia and South Sudan on Wednesday signed security cooperation agreement to jointly fight terrorism, armed groups and organised crime in the region.<\/p>\n

The agreement was signed by the Director General of the National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) of Ethiopia, Temesgen Tiruneh, and the Director General of the Internal Security Bureau of South Sudan, Akor Kor Cook.<\/p>\n

The agreement states that \u201cthe countries will work together to control and take action against terrorist groups, rebel forces, armed groups and organised criminals who have taken the mission to disrupt peace and security in the border areas and destabilise the East African region.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, the two countries will work together to prevent illegal arms trafficking, organised crime in the border area, drug trafficking, economic fraud and information technology related crimes.<\/p>\n

South Sudan\u2019s Security Affairs Adviser Tut Gatluak Manime said the agreement commits the two countries to exchange information; conduct exchange visits; and enhance training, capacity building and information on immigration, counter-terrorism and border crossing crimes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe conveyed the message of assurance of unflinching cooperation and coordination of issues of mutual concern and benefit to the citizens of the two countries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to Ethiopia\u2019s spy agency, the agreement will further strengthen the strategic partnership between Ethiopia and South Sudan.<\/p>\n

The two countries also signed a deal to cooperate with the Civil, Citizenship, Passport and Immigration Registration Directorate of South Sudan Ministry of Internal Affairs.<\/p>\n

This will enable the two countries to work together to ensure the activities of their citizens are peaceful and their freedom is guaranteed.<\/p>\n

The agreement will also play a significant role in ensuring that the activities carried out, especially at the border, protect the social and economic benefits of the citizens of the two countries.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the South Sudanese high-level delegation led by Presidential Advisor General Kong Titipip Gatluak, along with senior security and civil officials, visited the construction site of Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.<\/p>\n

After visiting the site, the South Sudanese delegation said the Nile dam project will play an instrumental role for regional integration through the supply of electricity.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter witnessing the GERD\u2019s construction site, we found that the dam is a large project and can provide all neighbouring countries with electricity\u2026We have really seen a very big job,\u201d Manime told state media.<\/p>\n

The South Sudanese official urged Sudan, Ethiopia and Egypt to resume stalled talks over the Nile dam filling.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia\u2019s Defense Minister Abraham Belay said, \u201cThe dam we are building is not only for Ethiopia but also for Africa. The rumours about the dam and the reality on the ground are totally different. The countries of the river basin should also understand that this dam ensures mutual benefit. For instance, our Grand Renaissance Dam has two bottom outlets for the purpose of downstream countries so that they can get water throughout the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
