Washington, DC — Displaced in Darfur must return home safely to contribute to rebuilding

The United States welcomes the announcement that the Government of Sudan and the Sudanese People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) have completed an agreement for peace in Sudan. The signing of the final three protocols begins the closure of the longest running civil war in sub-Saharan Africa. The United States has worked closely with the Intergovernmental Authority on Development and others, during this long peace process.
