| Summary / Abstract (Note) | From 35,000 feet, the status quo in Sudan
is an unmitigated disaster that only seems
to be getting worse. In Darfur, war continues
to rage, and millions of civilians are packed
into squalid camps with dwindling access to humanitarian
assistance. The Comprehensive Peace
Agreement (CPA)-a landmark accord that ended
a 22-year war between the government and rebels
based in southern Sudan-is unraveling, and
hot spots along the north-south border threaten a
resumption of full-scale civil war and the violent
dissolution of the state.
On the ground, however, the status quo is shifting,
and it is doing so in ways that create opportunities
for positive change. Now it is up to the international
community and key decision makers in
Sudan to leverage recent developments to alter fundamentally
how the Sudanese government treats its
citizens and relates to the rest of the world. |
