Abstract
Premier Khatim Khalifa immediately turned his attention to the southern problem, and through Clement Mboro he tried to negotiate with southern leaders, appealing to both SANU and the Anya-Nya to suspend their antigovernment activities. Clement Mboro wrote to, among others, William Deng and nine southern politicians, three from each southern province, inviting them to Khartoum for discussions. On 11 November 1964, as a sign of good faith, Khalifa released a number of southern detainees and declared that Sundays and Christmas Day would again be recognised holidays. On the 12th Mboro managed to persuade the Anya-Nya to observe a month's ceasefire while he carried out a factfinding mission.
