I'm going to ask a quick question and then turn the floor over to my colleague Madam Deschamps.
I always have the same question about Sudan. We know there has been a civil war in the south between the central government and the local organizations and population. We also know there is a civil war in Darfur and that the ethnic composition of the north is essentially Arab or Arab-speaking, and relatively white. It is black in the south, where there are Christians and animists. In the north, they are Muslim.
How is it that, in the various settlements that have been reached, Darfur has not come under a settlement providing for a referendum or possible secession? Is it because of the ethnic composition of the population, or religious factors? What's the difference between Darfur and South Sudan?
