09 Januray - UNMIS hails fourth anniversary of CPA

The United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) congratulates the Government of National Unity and the people of Sudan on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA).
UNMIS commends the Parties to the CPA for their achievements to date including the maintenance of the ceasefire. Accomplishments and challenges over the past year such as the conduct of the Census and ongoing concerted efforts to restore normalcy in Abyei have reminded all of us of how vital partnership and mutual trust are to sustained and full implementation of the CPA and of how vital the CPA is to the peace process and to the people of Sudan.
Now, as implementation of the CPA enters another year, the milestones ahead ranging from elections and border demarcation to the launch of the DDR process will require the redoubled commitment of both the Parties and the international community.
UNMIS stands ready to continue assisting the Parties to the CPA and the people of Sudan in fulfilling these commitments and achieving full and effective implementation of all aspects of the CPA.
