Rescuing the Peace in Southern Sudan (OXFAM GB)
19th May 2010 |
Five years after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) was signed, Sudan is once again at a crossroads. The next 12 months with landmark elections and a referendum where southerners will decide whether they want to remain part of a united Sudan or secede will be critical. There are fears that unless the international community acts now, Sudan could once again face serious instability. A new report from Oxfam calls for immediate action to bolster the fragile peace process.

Last year saw a major upsurge in violence in southern Sudan, with more than 2,500 people killed and over a quarter of a million displaced. In December 2009, Oxfam spoke to communities living in Western and Central Equatoria and Lakes State, who have faced violence and displacement.
