Abstract

When the two parties to the conflict in the north and south reached the 2005 agreement, which included the basis for a political solution to this conflict, including granting the people of the south the right to self-determination, six years after the signing of the agreement, the Arab countries were content to welcome the agreement, but the vast majority of them did not play any role in attempts to make unity An attractive option for the people of the south, as was said at the time, and when the date of the referendum on the right to self-determination approached at the beginning of this year and the vows of secession seemed clearer than any eye could miss, a number of Arab countries expressed their fears of the repercussions of this separation on the Arab world, as if these countries did not welcome Six years ago, the agreement stipulated the separation mechanism.

But if we look at the new geostrategic arrangements, the separate state of the south, which is geographically closed, will seek to be part of the East African community that seeks to form a confederation, and there are strong indications that the neighboring countries Uganda and Kenya have helped accelerate the pace of secession, for economic and political reasons
