Jan Pronk-United Nations
In this exclusive interview blogger Bec Hamilton interviews former UN Special Representative, Jan Pronk, using questions that readers submitted about the situation in Darfur. Check it out!
The questions included:
What do you see as the prospect for a united Sudan?
You need to guarantee:
1. Peace in the South
2. Peace in Darfur
3. Development
4. Guarantees of fundamental rights (He commented: “In the period I was there, I really had the impression that they (the Government of South Sudan) were doing good things … they really did a good job in the first two years. ”)
“If these four conditions . . . would be met, there’s a chance for unity. If these conditions would not be met, I bet the people in the South would vote for independence. . . .”
This is an ongoing project, so consider submitting a question for one of Bec’s upcoming interviewees!
