On 9th July 2011, the community of nations will welcome the Republic of South Sudan as its newest member. After decades of war and bitter suffering, self-determination and independence for the southern Sudanese people are at last within reach. Many thousands of men and women have died in the hope of seeing this day. Their memories will be esteemed by the people of South Sudan for generations to come.
For many years, Pax Christi International has endeavoured to accompany the Sudanese people in their struggle to attain a just and sustainable peace for their country. We heartily commend them for the peaceful conduct of the referendum that has led to this historic moment. We greet them this day with joy and in the spirit of solidarity. „Pax Christi International Statement about Sout Sudan: A new nation is born“ weiterlesen
