US to provide humanitarian assistance in south

    NAIROBI

    The US government has also agreed to provide humanitarian assistance to war victims in south Sudan, rebel Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army leader John Garang told journalists in Nairobi on Saturday after meeting Albright. The Kenya Television Network (KTN) quoted Garang as saying the aid would be channelled through civil society and not the “various political factions”. He reiterated that IGAD would remain the “prime mover of peace” in Sudan. “We believe that the IGAD peace process is a serious one. It goes directly to the heart of the problem,” he said. “Any other peace initiatives are welcome and should be supportive of the IGAD peace process rather than competitive or parallel to it.”
