The Archbishop of Sudan, Dr Daniel Deng Bul, has called on the British Government to step up its support for the country\u2019s Compre\u00c2\u00adhensive Peace Agreement (CPA) as the key to peace in Darfur and across the country. Britain is a co-signatory of the agreement, which marked the end of Africa\u2019s longest-running civil war in 2004.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are crying to the inter\u00c2\u00adnational community not to abandon the CPA. If it succeeds, then the con\u00c2\u00adflict in Darfur, too, will be resolved. The British, the Italians, the Ameri\u00c2\u00adcans, and the Norwegians need to step up now. This is a crucial time,\u201d\u009d Dr Deng said on Thursday of last week during a visit to Salisbury dio\u00c2\u00adcese.<\/p>\n
He was speaking just before the indictment of the President of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir, for war crimes. On Wednesday, the Inter\u00c2\u00adnational Criminal Court issued a warrant for the President\u2019s arrest for crimes against humanity in Darfur.<\/p>\n
