Sudanese vice-president and former rebel SPLM leader John Garang died in a helicopter crash in southern Sudan over the weekend. Just three weeks ago, Garang was inaugurated as Vice President under the peace agreement designed to bring an end to the 20-year North/South civil war.
Much of the world’s hope for a peaceful solution rested on Garang’s
ability to reign in the genocidal regime in Khartoum and, with his
death, the future of Darfur and the North/South peace accord is now
hard to predict.
