"Mr President, rarely is the international community as unanimous on how to encourage peace as it has been in the context of the conflict between Sudan and South Sudan. The African Union has taken a significant first step in the form of a road map, which the United Nations Security Council adopted unanimously in its resolution. As for the EU, the Foreign Affairs Council, the President of the European Council and Baroness Ashton have all urged the relevant parties to commit to this road map towards peace. The UN resolution is basically a means for persuading the parties to set up a 10 kilometre-long demilitarised border zone, to establish a Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism there, and to initiate unconditional peace talks. Sudan’s leaders, however, seem to be dallying, and are always imposing new conditions for the commencement of peace negotiations. This is obviously only a first step. In the longer term, we have to determine where the border lies, decide on the distribution of income from oil, and resolve ethnic disputes. However, the most urgent course of action is to help ordinary people. More than half of the population of South Sudan, some 4.7 million, are suffering from a food shortage. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs fears that South Sudan could drift into even greater poverty. Another problem is the poor infrastructure, which makes it difficult to get humanitarian aid into the country. The continuous arrival of refugees from north to south is placing a further burden on this new, fragile country."@en1
