     Title: Taha, Kiir to represent NCP & SPLM in Kenya’s IGAD summit
(ST)
The First Vice president of Sudan Salva Kiir and 2nd Vice President Ali Osman Taha will fly to Nairobi next week to take part in the extraordinary summit of Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in Nairobi that starts on Tuesday, state media reported today.


The conference held primarily with the purpose of bridging differences between the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) and the Sudan People Liberation Movement (SPLM) on the implementation of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA).


IGAD is a seven-country regional development organization of East African nations, with headquarters in Djibouti. Kenya has been the venue of the final negotiations between Khartoum and the Southern rebels held under the auspices of IGAD.
