Event Announcement
Peace in Sudan: Implementing the Comprehensive Peace Agreement
Friday, June 27, 2008, 2:00 pm — 3:30 pm
The Brookings Institution, Falk Auditorium, 1775 Massachusetts Ave, NW, Washington, DC
While the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement brought new hope for southern Sudan, many barriers remain to the Agreement’s successful implementation three years on—-as recently illustrated by the fighting around Abyei, Sudan. The creation of the agreement and the deployment of a joint military force have calmed most of the violence, but the continuing Abyei border issue and disputes over the control of oil revenues remain as potential threats to sustainable peace.
On June 27, the Brookings-Bern Project on Internal Displacement will host a discussion to examine Sudan’s 2005 peace agreement and to explore the ways in which it has been successfully implemented and the areas in which challenges still exist. Participants include representatives from the Sudanese government; Lynn Fredriksson, Africa advocacy director for Amnesty International USA; and Pamela Fierst, a member of the Sudan policy group at the State Department.
Khalid Koser, deputy director of the Brookings-Bern Project on Internal Displacement, will provide introductory remarks and will moderate the discussion. After the program, panelists will take audience questions.
