(29 Jun 1972) RR7226A: SOUTH SUDAN: PROBLEMS OF THE PEACE
CUTS AVAILABLE: SEE STORY Z024241
Early in 1972, the central government of Sudan and
representatives of the so-called Anya-nya rebels
signed a peace agreement that ended 17 years of civil
war in South Sudan. The Anya-nya, drawn from the 5
million strong Negro minority in Sudan, had been
fighting for their own state in the South, claiming this
was the only way to free themselves from the
domination of Sudan's Arab majority. What they will
now get is an autonomous region, with its own
parliament, that will remain in a new Sudanese
federation. Over half a million died in the war, mostly
from starvation. Another one million fled into the
bush, and a further 200,000 are in refugee camps in
neighbouring countries. These people now want to
return and only a vast programme of international aid
can overcome the problems of their resettlement. If
this aid is not quickly forthcoming, frustration and
disappointment could undermine Sudan's fragile
peace.
