Quote: Conference on Sudan’s Post-Referendum Challenges April 9, 2011 9:00am-3:00pm McNally Amphitheatre Fordham Law School, Fordham University 140 West 62nd St. New York, NY 10023 The Department of African and African American Studies will convene a one – day conference on Sudan’s Post-Referendum Challenges and the future of its two regions scheduled for April 9, 2011 at Fordham University, the Lincoln Center campus. The conference will focus on how the two regions of Sudan can best address the post-referendum challenges to avoid the renewal of conflicts and return to civil war after the referendum. The conference will present a fresh vision and explore policy options for peaceful coexistence between the two states. The goal of the conference is to focus on three outstanding post-referendum challenges: the disputed border between the north and the south, the issue of wealth sharing, and the question of citizenship. Outstanding academics and policy makers who specialize on Sudan and who are actively involved in the peace process will debate possible ways of addressing these challenges. The conference is free and open to the public. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to Cinthya Balon by April 1 at [email protected] or 212-636-6360.
