Waging Peace in Sudan by Hilde F Johnson
Sudan could soon witness one of the first partitions of an African state since the colonial era. The 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement guarantees a referendum on self determination for Southern Sudan, which is scheduled for January 2011 that ended a 20-year old civil war. This book shows how that war was finally brought to an end.
"It is a sad truth that waging peace is always much harder than waging warFortunately, it is infinitely more rewarding. The Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) that ended Sudan's second civil war in 2005 took almost three years to mature and would never have been signed had it not been for the dedication of a small number of individuals from Sudan and the broader international community. Amongst the latter, Hilde F Johnson, at the time Norway's Minister for International Development and now Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF, stands out for her tireless efforts to help bring the protagonists together." -- From the Foreword by Kofi A Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations, 19972006
