This is a welcomed and progressive approach by the President trying to mediate for peace and giving help to those unfortunate civilians who got caught in the mess. However, in order to make a positive impact on the mediation, a proper and very careful analysis of the situation is very necessary. There are very definitely two different and very separate issues involved, viz., the Sudan-Chad conflict which is not an open one, and the Sudan-Darfur conflict which is open and raging. These conflicts are worlds apart as to their source as well as to the possible approach to their solution. The Sudan-Chad conflict is no doubt more straight forward and, with both President of Sudan and President of Chad being members of AU, a quick solution should be possible with proper diplomatic efforts. The Sudan-Darfur conflict may not be all that easy, but definitely not impossible, to mediate because of the external players involved, especially the players that are backing and arming the rebels with the goal of separating the Souhern Sudan from the North. It may be difficult to convince such players that, like all peace loving human beings either in America or Europe or Asia, the people of Sudan are yawning for peace and not constant war that has lasted many generations. Blessed are the peace makers for they shall be called the children of God!
