The African Union (AU) has suspended South Sudan from the continental body after Juba failed to pay its annual contributions amounting to over 9 million U.S. dollars.

South Sudan’s mission to Ethiopia wrote to the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs last week informing its government that the east African country was sanctioned after it failed to pay financial contributions for three consecutive years.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday last week confirmed the suspension of South Sudan from the pan African body.

Hakim Edward, deputy Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, said the sanctions do not deprive South Sudan of its AU membership but it only suspends the country from participating in AU meetings.

“We would like to confirm to the public that South Sudan is one of the countries that have been sanctioned by the AU due to lack of yearly financial contributions,” Edward said in a statement issued on Friday night.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs would like to assure the public that it is coordinating with the ministry of finance to resolve the matter not only with the AU but with other regional bodies,” he added.

South Sudan became the 54th member of the African Union on July 27, 2011.

Nevertheless, I appologize, but I can not subscribe to your whole idea, all be it radical none the less. It looks to everyone that your comments are generally not totally validated and in actuality you are your self not fully convinced of your point. In any event I did appreciate examining it.

A huge reduction in fast foods, sugary meals, fried foods, sweet foods, pork, and white colored flour products might be necessary. Retaining wastes parasites, and contaminants may prevent desired goals for losing belly fat. While selected drugs momentarily solve the problem, the unpleasant side effects are certainly not worth it, and they never offer you more than a short lived solution. It can be a known proven fact that 95 of diet plans fail. Thank you for sharing your notions on this site.

  452. One thing I would really like to comment on is that weight loss program fast is possible by the appropriate diet and exercise. People’s size not merely affects appearance, but also the general quality of life. Self-esteem, major depression, health risks, as well as physical abilities are afflicted in fat gain. It is possible to just make everything right whilst still having a gain. Should this happen, a condition may be the primary cause. While excessive food rather than enough exercising are usually responsible, common medical conditions and trusted prescriptions can greatly increase size. Thanks a bunch for your post here.

The actual sensors regarding some digital cameras change in contrast, while others utilize a beam with infra-red (IR) light, specifically in low lighting. Higher standards cameras sometimes use a combination of both devices and might have Face Priority AF where the camera can ‘See’ the face while focusing only in that.

I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
