Mr. Speaker, we are encouraged by the recent agreement among the government of Sudan, the Sudanese People's Liberation Army, SPLA, and the United States on ending of attacks against civilian targets by both the government and the opposition forces.
The agreement has the potential to allow the safe and secure delivery of humanitarian assistance by the international community.
This agreement between the two parties could help bring about the conditions leading to a formal peace negotiation process. Let us all hope that it is the case.
