Sudan equal names

8 May 2008

In Darfur, the fragile DPA and the continuation of conflict have led to the following unique concerns: access to traditional livelihood strategies; complex layers of security inside and outside the camps and continual attacks on IDPs; and the lack of representation and participation in decision-making regarding relief, development and the peace process. [...] The main objective of the study is to inform the discussion of post-war reconstruction from a grassroots enterprise development and gendered perspective, specifically for the return and resettlement of IDPs from Darfur and Southern Sudan and the demilitarization and reintegration of ex-combatants from Southern Sudan as part of the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) process. [...] The first phase of the war lasted for seventeen years and ended when the central government in the north and the leadership in the south signed the Addis Ababa Accord in 1972, which gave the south relative control of its territories and resources. [...] The discovery of oil in the southern territories in the early 1980s was a major factor for the violation of the Accord by the government in the north. [...] While the war was declared ended in the south by the signing of the CPA, the armed struggle continues intensely in the Darfur region in the west and in various pockets within Southern Sudan and in contested territories in the east.
