In an effort to hasten progress towards ending two decades of civil war in Sudan, mediator Lazaro Sumbeiywo is drawing up a final peace agreement to present to the two warring parties next week. “I am developing a final agreement. I am working on it,” Sumbeiywo told IPS this week. This is part of the new holistic style of negotiating which begun in the latest round of talks, held in Kenya, which broke off on May 21 with several major issues still unresolved.
