Quote: Nairobi 19 April 2005 Find below a link to the complete speech by SPLM Chairman Dr Garang at the South-South Dialogue Conference. Present at the conference where former Kenya President Daniel Moi as witness; various southern Sudanese politicians, elders and representatives of several civil society organizations. Click South-South Dialogue Speech to download Abstracts from the speech ...It has been the ardent believe of the SPLM/SPLA that dialogue between southerners is important to heal wounds and restore fraternity and mutual respect so as to create a healthy political environment that is accommodative of all Southern Sudanese political forces both at the level of South Sudan and nationally. This is even more important and urgent now as we enter the critical phase of the Interim Period. I therefore very much welcome and appreciate this South-South dialogue conference.... It is never too late to have dialogue among brothers and sisters. As the theme states, the objective of this conference is for Southerners to clear misunderstandings and engage themselves in the process of building consensus for peace, reconciliation and among the people of Southern Sudan; or simply communal rediscovery of a common destiny. ....This dialogue, if carried out to its logical end, will insure that the benefits of the CPA will be enjoyed by the greatest possible number of our people... .... the CPA does not belong to the SPLM and NC-GOS; it does not belong to John Garang and Ali Osman; it belongs to all Sudanese; it belongs to you; it belongs to all Southern Sudanese; and so you own it and use it for the development of Southern Sudan and provision of basic services to our people..... What has Southern Sudan achieved in the CPA? [7 points are mentioned]
