"The region today occupied by the states of Sudan and South Sudan has already been aflame for many years, constituting a genuine humanitarian disaster. The outbreak of conflict between the two states raises fears of a return to the same level of violence and assaults on their peoples’ freedom, democracy and human rights. The European Union should be at the forefront of efforts to avoid a similar outcome and should encourage both states to bear in mind the interests of their respective peoples and to reconcile, so as to ensure their survival and peace, which has been as hard to come by as it has been longed-for. On the initiative of a Member from my party, the European Parliament awarded the 2007 Sakharov Prize to Salih Mahmoud Osman, who demonstrated at first hand the tragedy experienced in Darfur and throughout the country. Perhaps he will be informed that we can receive him again and hear again what he has to say about what is happening there. We know the consequences that prolonged Western silence has had for the Sudanese people. We should now give them renewed attention and greater capacity for action."@en1
