Sudan has called on the World Bank to cancel its debt before January's referendum. The World Bank says before it can decide to write of Sudans' debt, the government must carry out certain conditions, such as implementing economic reforms to reduce poverty. The deputy chairperson of the World Bank Obigal Isaac Wisley, told Radio Miraya in a press conference that the World Bank will not be involved in deciding the overall responsibility for debts between North and South Sudan.
