All this info is from the SIM Australia website. Five years of peace… Five years of rebuilding Southern Sudan following decades of war… Now Sudan stands at the crossroads… A referendum is scheduled for 9 January 2011 to decide whether Southern Sudan will become an independent country. This is part of the 2005 Naivasha Agreement between the Khartoum central government and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army/Movement (SPLA/M).
The way forward has the potential for major instability. After 5 years of peace; the return of refugees to their homeland and the investment of many mission workers and other NGOs in rebuilding the devastated Southern Sudan, the fear of a fresh outbreak of violence is real.
Will you pray with us for the country of Sudan, for its people, and for a peaceful resolution to the question of an independent Southern Sudan?
Check out the SIM Australia website for more detail on the issues surrounding the referendum and also a list of comprehensive prayer points. Pray for the a month, from now until 9 Jan. Peace.
