  |  Re: ندوة عن الحوار الوطني بمعهد السلام الأمريكي بحضور خبراء سودانيين (Re: Musab Osman Alhassan) |  | Sudan faces a daunting mix of political, economic and security challenges, all of which are likely to intensify as elections -- scheduled for 2015 -- grow near and President Bashir’s term concludes. The potential shift creates opportunities for new political arrangements, possibly including drafting a new constitution. There's also an imperative to end the conflicts in Sudan's west and south.
 
 Ongoing discussions about how to make progress include approaches such as national dialogues. These can be part of a broader political reform process that involves all groups, and addresses governance, diversity and reconciliation.
 
 Please join the United States Institute of Peace for an online-only discussion (#SudanDialogue) of key questions surrounding a national dialogue process and the potential benefits such an approach might achieve in Sudan.
