Thank you.
With regard to part of the recommendation, you know that the war in southern Sudan has left nothing. Right now, the international community, including Canada, is asking the Government of Southern Sudan to provide good governance. It is impossible to have a good governance without capacity building. So I would love to see Canada play a role in capacity building to educate southern Sudan on how to build their capacity. Then we could talk about good governance, because good governance comes after capacity building. We want to see Canada helping Sudan in general, and southern Sudan in particular, through development, so we want Canada to play a role in this.
Regarding the protection of minorities in the north, I think there are a lot of things that can be done if Canada can help Sudan to transform itself into a democratic country. Doing that would have an impact on its citizens, not only the minorities. There are other aspects. For instance, cultures are not all the same in Sudan. There are many tribes and many religions in Sudan.
The last thing we want to focus on is that Canada should send a high-level delegation so they can acquaint themselves with what is taking place on the ground. That would really be appreciated. We would like either the Minister of Foreign Affairs or the Prime Minister himself to go to Sudan, because many people have gone to Sudan and southern Sudan and they have come back without anything happening to them. So we'd like to see that. If Canada can do this too, it will be really appreciated.
