With seven months until the referendum in Sudan to determine whether or not the south remains part of a united Sudan, coupled with the recent increase in violence in Darfur, the country remains volatile and its future uncertain. The United States and the international community - particularly the African Union and the United Nations - remain deeply involved in the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and the preparations for the referendum. As the countdown to this all-important vote begins, the Africa Program of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the United States Institute of Peace are jointly hosting a discussion with two key leaders of the international effort to manage this difficult process in Sudan: former South African President Thabo Mbeki, now head of the African Union High Level Implementation Panel (Sudan), and Haile Menkerios, the special representative of the U.N. secretary-general in Sudan and head of the United Nations Mission in Sudan. They will discuss the current situation in Sudan and international efforts to achieve peace and ensure a smooth referendum process.
With:
President Thabo Mbeki, Former President of South Africa
Head of the African Union High Level Implementation Plan (Sudan)
Haile Menkerios, Special Representative of the U.N. Secretary General in Sudan
Head of the United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS)
Introductory remarks:
Steve McDonald, Consulting Director
Africa Program, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars
Moderated by:
David Smock, Vice-President
Center for Mediation & Conflict Resolution, U.S. Institute of Peace
