Supporters or What?

I thought that it would be interesting to learn how and what the United States government supports in Darfur and Sudan, based on their interests. It is interesting to see what our government has done for Darfur and Sudan because the United States main focus is reducing human suffering. I feel that because the United States does not have any interests in Darfur or Sudan beside reducing human suffering, I believe that is why our government has not done much to remedy the situation. In order to have a better understanding of what our government is doing in Darfur and Sudan, I needed to research what our government supports in order to know what they are doing and what their goal is for that specific region. I learned that, “The U.S. government is supporting SPLA (Sudan People’s Liberation Army) military reform, though should relations with Khartoum deteriorate this program would be more difficult to implement. CPA (Comprehensive Peace Agreement) security provisions need to be implemented now or conflict is likely to erupt in several areas around oil rich Abeyi and near Juba” (Andrew Natsios). To me this meant that our does not have a set plan supporting a group of people, because it does not seem to be set in stone. Depending on how the relationship between Khartoum is held the program can ultimately fail, leaving our government even less to work with than they had before . Each step is key in ending the genocide because depending on how our government looks at the situation larger conflicts might arise creating even more problems. The CPA was a major step in the right direction and, “I want to highlight the importance of the two year old Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) that has created a fragile peace in Sudan between the north and the south after two decades of conflict during which more than 2.5 million died and four million were displaced. The CPA, the keystone of U.S. policy toward Sudan, is vulnerable. The death of the south’s charismatic leader, Dr. John Garang complicated the immediate implementation of the CPA” (Andrew Natsios). The CPA agreement is not perfect, but has created some peace In Sudan and Darfur, which shows that there is hope to ending the genocide before it is too late. When Dr. John Garang died, there was some uncertainty about implementing the agreement, which caused more violence to arise. After the implementation of the  Comprehensive Peace Agreement, citizens noticed a change in their communities. The citizens of Darfur and Sudan are extremely great full of the smallest actions, because they understand the effects of a failed peace agreement. They have seen so many systems fail in front of their eyes, which eventually leads to death.
