		Under the peace agreement, Sudan's new oil wealth - at present 250,000 barrels a day rising to 500,000 by 2005 - is to be split equally between north and south.
		The peace agreement allows for a six-month period to agree a new constitution, then six years to implement it, ending in a referendum by southerners on the future of the south.
		The present peace process may be the best opportunity Sudan has ever had but if it is to work, far deeper changes are required from all the participants than they think necessary at the moment.

		It is an Act that while paying lip service to the need for a "negotiated, peaceful settlement to the war in Sudan" at the same time provides one side to the conflict with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of logistical assistance, assistance that will be diverted to sustain gunmen and acquire weapons.
		It is an Act that decries the manipulation of food aid while ignoring the fact that the side it is supporting has been accused of diverting two-thirds of foreign assistance within the areas it controls.
		The Act was drafted by legislators such as Representatives Tancredo, Wolf and Payne and Senators Frist, Brownback and Feingold, whose previous involvement with Sudan had resulted in an escalation in the Sudanese conflict and regional tensions.

		The people of Sudan need to hear a clear message that the Congress wants to see a just and comprehensive peace, that the United States will remain engaged—but that the window of opportunity is now—and that we stand ready to support reconstruction and development in post-war Sudan.
		First of all, with respect to access in the Operation Lifeline Sudan areas, basically what was the pattern was that the United Nations, which operates Operation Lifeline Sudan, would request of the government and the SPLA the ability to go into a location and feed or otherwise meet the needs of the population.
		Sudan is at an historic milestone where the main parties to the civil war are seriously engaged in a peace process that may result in a just peace that ends this tragic war.

		(7) The Government of Sudan is utilizing and organizing militias, Popular Defense Forces, and other irregular units for raiding and slaving parties in areas outside of the control of the Government of Sudan in an effort to severely disrupt the ability of those populations to sustain themselves.
		(11) While the immediate needs of selected areas in Sudan facing starvation have been addressed in the near term, the population in areas of Sudan outside of the control of the Government of Sudan are still in danger of extreme disruption of their ability to sustain themselves.

		The Sudan Peace Act, which was passed overwhelmingly in both Houses of Congress earlier this month and signed this week by President Bush, seems to have the support of a coalition of activists who have been diligently working to end the genocide and enslavement of Christians by the Muslim government in Sudan.
		The Sudan Peace Act aims to stop the long-standing persecution of civilians — many of them Christians — in the southern part of the African nation of Sudan.
		Among these acts of genocide, according the new law, are ethnic cleansing, the enslavement of women and children, the aerial bombardment of civilian centers, and the creation of famine conditions."

		Basically what we called for at that time was a cessation in the hostilities so that the food could travel throughout the country and that innocent starving people could be fed, but that was not to be.
		We had a very difficult time during those years getting the attention of the Congress and anybody else to the fact that a genocide was being committed again in our time, a religious genocide by the government of the north trying to kill by starvation the fl Christian population in the south of Sudan.
