The hope generated by the signing of the May 5 Darfur Peace Agreement has been shattered, replaced by an
ever-growing sense of despair about the prospects for gaining peace. Only one
of the rebel groups, a faction of the Sudan Liberation Army led by Minni Minnawi,
has signed on. The other two major rebel armies refused to sign, as the deal does
not address the root causes of the war, call for rebel forces to be integrated
into security measures throughout Sudan, or make plans for a victims'
fund. The absence of such key players in the signing of this peace accord makes
it little more than a symbolic gesture, which has since been overshadowed by
even greater violence and insecurity in the region.

On March 16, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an amendment to provide an additional $50 million dollars for Darfur peacekeeping. The Senate Appropriations Committee is expected to consider a similar amendment on April 4th. The funds would be used immediately to support African Union peacekeeping force already on the ground in Darfur. Please encourage your Senators to support this amendment! www.savedarfur.org |

The Security Council on Friday extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission in Sudan until 24 September, with the intention to renew it for further periods. The Council is also investigating how best to support efforts by States in the region to put an end to the activities of illegal armed groups, including proposals on how United Nations agencies and missions, in particular UNMIS, could more effectively address the problem of the LRA. http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2006/sc8672.doc.htm
