Sudanese Perspectives on the 2011 Referendum (part 3 of 3)

Seminar with Dr. Luka Biong Deng (Minister of Cabinet Affairs, Government of National Unity, Sudan), held at the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) on 13 October 2010. The seminar was organised by PRIO, Fafo and Noref, and was chaired by Mariano Aguirre, Director of Noref.

With less than 100 days remaining before the deadline for the Southern Sudanese people's right to a referendum on secession from the North, this timely seminar provides an unique opportunity to hear the perspectives of an involved party to the peace agreement.

Important Note: Representatives of the National Congress Party, the dominant party in the Government of National Unity, were invited to supplement Dr. Luka Biong's presentation and to contribute contrasting views and perspectives on the political situation in the Sudan. They were however not able to participate. It is hoped that a future seminar with a National Congress Party representative will be organised.

Why such a man had no chance to lead a unified Sudan? Instead of a criminal idiot

like Omar Al Bashir? That is our tragedy.
