Sudan: Peace Process is Vulnerable, Say Analysts

Sudan's peace process will collapse if Khartoum and the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army refuse to involve others in the talks that are underway in Kenya, political commentators have warned. "There are 36 militia and political groups in the south. If they are not handled well, there will be trouble,” said John Yor, a political science lecturer at the University of South Africa (UNISA). He told a meeting held in Pretoria, last Thursday, that the four major political parties in northern Sudan had also taken something of a back seat in the peace process.
