Hilde Johnson's book--her inside story of waging peace in Sudan

“The Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) that ended Sudan’s second civil war in 2005 took almost three years to mature and would never have been signed had it not been for the dedication of a small number of individuals from Sudan and the broader international community. Amongst the latter, Hilde F. Johnson, at the time Norway’s Minister for International Development and now the Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF, stands out for her tireless efforts to help bring the protagonists together.
 
 This book is Hilde’s inside account of how the two parties to Africa’s longest running civil war, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) and the ruling National Congress Party (NCP), negotiated an end to over 20 years of bloodshed. Profiting from her unique access to both the SPLM/A’s late leader John Garang as well as Ali Osman Taha, Sudan’s First Vice President, she takes us on a fascinating journey from the beginning of the talks in Nairobi to the signing of the 260 page agreement in Naivasha over 16 months later. This journey is as full of deep insight into the political dynamics of   Northern and Southern Sudan as of compelling conclusions on the mechanics of mediation and the need for forceful engagement by the international community.”
