"The peace agreement reached in 2005 between northern and southern Sudan has not brought an end to the armed conflict which has been going on there for many years. The current further escalation of violence along the border between Sudan and South Sudan is the effect of the many, often insoluble problems which have existed in the region for a long time. However, both Sudan and South Sudan have now confirmed their commitment to an immediate cessation of hostilities and, on 4 June, began their first high-level talks on border security since the situation in the region threatened to drag the former civil war back into a full-scale conflict. Sudan and South Sudan are also affected by a drought, and people have started moving in search of food; according to the UN, around 1 million people could be at risk of starvation if food aid does not reach them in the coming months. I therefore voted in favour of the resolution, particularly in view of my memories of a recent visit to Sudan as an election observer."@en1
