"Mr President, Amnesty International’s senior crisis response adviser, Donatella Rovera, has been quoted as saying: ‘the Sudanese Government is literally getting away with murder and trying to keep the outside world from finding out. The international community, and particularly the UN Security Council, must stop looking the other way and act to address the situation.’ At least we are doing that here today.
On 9 July, Southern Sudan became the world’s newest state but, as often happens, peace does not follow in such situations. The great Irish patriot, Michael Collins, observed this in 1921 when he said ‘border land is trouble and always will be’. He himself was killed in the subsequent civil war that occurred over border land.
The fact that Southern Kordofan has 80% of Sudanese oil reserves means that the stakes are pretty high here, and the issue will be difficult to resolve. Nevertheless, we have to try to get a peace and put an end to the aerial bombardment so that people can sow their crops and get on with their lives."@en1
