A peace agreement has been signed between Uganda’s Government and the Lord’s Resistance Army.  Sudan brokered the peace and hosted the negotiations in Juba, capital of Southern Sudan.  Dr. R. Machar, Vice-Chairman of Southern Sudan was personally involved in the delicate contacts.
This agreement shows what Sudan (when in peace within its borders) can do for neighbouring countries.  This is an example of the way Africans can solve their own problems.
The Acholi people who are split in two halves between Sudan and Uganda have suffered a great deal.  We celebrate peace with them. 

Those who took part in the negotiations on behalf of the two parties to the conflict deserve a great deal of credit.  Sudan too deserves acknowledgement of its contribution to the Breaking of Good News, for a change!  That has not happened yet; hence this Press Release!
