Sudan: American-Led Slavery Mission Due to Report in May

The US-led eminent persons group on slavery, abduction and forced servitude in Sudan expects to have developed some practical ideas on what can be done about these impediments to ending the country's civil war by late May, the US Department of State reported on Friday.

The establishment of the group in late March was a follow-up to US peace envoy John Danforth's proposition to the warring parties of four confidence-building measures in November 2001. In these he included an end to the taking of slaves and abduction of civilians. [see http://www.irinnews.org/report.asp?ReportID=15561]
