I have been thinking this for some time but now a number of people in African leadership are talking about the likelihood of Sudan sliding back into civil war.
Recently, the head of the Anglican Church in Sudan, Archbishop Daniel Deng Bul, wrote a passionate letter to representatives of the international community in the country appealing for their increased support for implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) which ended the civil war in 2005. He said he had recently toured many parts of South Sudan and witnessed first-hand the suffering of the people due to growing insecurity.
"In the Church's opinion, this is the biggest problem in Sudan today, and prevents any further material or economic development, as well as the free and fair elections desperately needed in February 2010 and the referendum on Southern secession scheduled for 2011," the archbishop said.
This issue needs to reach the radar of Congress and the President. The United States, is a guarantor signatorie of the CPA so our country should do everything within its power to assist the people of Southern Sudan.
