国际英语新闻：UNSC calls for "peaceful, credible, timely free referenda" in Sudan

The statement also noted "considerable humanitarian, early recover and each building needs" of Sudan and encouraged the Sudanese authorities and international donors to fulfill their pledges to address them.

It also underlined the "fully and timely implementation of the CPA" which is "essential to peace and stability" in Sudan.

On Jan. 9, 2011, inhabitants of the south will vote on whether to secede from Sudan or remain united with the rest of the country. On the same day, residents of Abyei, located in the center of the country, will vote separately on whether to retain Abyei's special administrative status in the north or become part of Bahr el- Ghazal state in the south.

The Jan. 9 referendums were mandated by the 2005 CPA, which ended a 20-year civil war between the central government and the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA).
