Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s Governance Cluster headed by First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar on Friday disclosed that the country plans to join Non-Aligned Movement.<\/p>\n

Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is a forum for 120 countries that are not formally siding with or against any major power bloc.<\/p>\n

After the United Nations, it is the largest grouping of states worldwide<\/p>\n

It was founded in 1961 with the view of advancing the interests of developing countries in the context of Cold War confrontation between the United States and its allies, and the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

Cabinet Minister Dr. Martin Elia Lomuro said on June 9, the cluster will present a draft to the Council of Ministers for approval.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the state television SSBC, Lomuro said the cluster discussed the advantages of joining the neutral nations without disclosing the benefits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish to become a member of Non-Aligned Movement, currently chaired by Azerbaijan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have discussed generally the benefit of joining us Non-Aligned Movement and in the end, we recommended this step and we presented a memo that we go to the council of ministry for final approval.\u201d<\/p>\n

About 52 African nations except South Sudan and Western Sahara are NAM members.<\/p>\n

Algeria was the first African country to join the movement in1969 while Zimbabwe was considered as the last country in Africa to be a part of the aligned in1979.<\/p>\n

The bloc played a crucial role in decolonization, the formation of new independent states, and the democratization of international relations.<\/p>\n

The movement is governed by five principles: mutual respect for each other\u2019s territorial integrity and sovereignty; mutual non-aggression; mutual non-interference in domestic affairs; equality and mutual benefit; and peaceful co-existence.<\/p>\n

It also has 17 Observer Countries and 10 Observer organizations.<\/p>\n
