The NSCC most widely reported success was the negotiation of an end to inter-ethnic fighting among Nuer in 1999 . The Wunlit negotiations led to the creation of the South Sudan Liberation Movement , which declared itself neutral in the conflict . According to John Prendergast of the International Crisis Group , what progress has been made in reconciling the factions that resulted when Riek Machar and Lam Akol 's defected from the Sudan People 's Liberation Army ( SPLA ) in 1994 is largely the result of the work of the NSCC . However , the European-Sudanese Public Affairs Council , an organization that largely takes a pro-government stance , states that the NSCC is overly entangled with the political leadership and goals of the SPLA
