The spokesman expressed his hope that Mousevini will response to the " voice of the reason" and to work for the stability of the African continent and the " Lakes " area.

In a speech he delivered on Friday Mousevini threatened he will chase the Ugandan rebellion committee which calls itself " the God's army" led by Joseph Koni, inside the Sudanese territories if the Sudanese al-Inqaz ( salvation) government will not be able to halt its activities.

Meantime, the Sudanese authorities in charge of the humanitarian file between al-Khartoum and Kampala have completed identification of 60 children who were kidnapped by what is called the Ugandan opposition " God's army," led by Joseph Koni.

The Sudanese daily al-Ayam issued on Saturday said that some 13 of the kidnapped children arrived in Juba city to the Southern part of the country were identified to join their other 50 colleagues, waiting for the consent of the Ugandan government to return them back to Kampala.

The sources added that the identification process of the kidnapped children currently existed in al-Khartoum was made by UNICEF, the International migration organization and the UNHCR.
