Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
As the member indicated, it's a very complex question, especially when it comes to ethnic composition and conflicts between various groups. If you don't mind, I'll switch to English to be more specific.
I think...not that there aren't serious tensions between Darfur and the central government as well, but rather that we have this Comprehensive Peace Agreement with the south. That has kind of allowed us to move on to this next step, which includes the referendum.
As it stands, the peace process under way with respect to Darfur has been aimed at resolving those tensions within the context of a united Sudan. But that's not to say that these tensions aren't serious, and of course we see a manifestation of that in the violence, the refugee movements, and so on that we have there.
Again, we're also following closely the peace process with respect to Darfur. We had a representative from the Department of Foreign Affairs participating in those talks just last week, so we follow those issues closely as well.
Merci.
