The National Council for Peaceful Revolutionary Forces said on Wednesday that the core of the Southern Issue could be traced back to the South’s exclusion from a true national partnership following the 1994 civil war.

The remark was made as the council presented its conception of the southern issue’s key components to the NDC’s Southern Issue Working Group.

“The issue has not been arbitrarily imagined by the Southern Movement. The issue resulted in the Movement - not the opposite,” said the party representative.
