I want to thank you, Justin, for being with us today. You have been really a voice for the voiceless all these years.
Those of us who were involved at that time in seeking independence for South Sudan, which came about four years ago, listening now to your report today, are hearing a really disturbing portrait of tribalization, of corruption, of illiteracy, of repression, of impunity. With all the things you've been describing with respect to South Sudan, I feel a deep sense of not just disappointment but also pain.
This also now links up with what is happening with South Kordofan, the Blue Nile state, Darfur, and Sudan itself, where there will be elections for the presidency in April. Are we able to solve the issues re South Sudan and at the same time address the intersecting conflicts of Blue Nile, South Kordofan, Darfur, Khartoum, etc.? They seem to be overlapping and intersecting. Can one have a comprehensive approach that can deal with all, or do we have to deal with them one by one?
