Following the meeting at Downing Street on Monday, the Prime Minister expressed concern at the gravity of the situation. He restated the British Government's commitment to doing all it could to ensure continued civility in Sudan.
Today, Archbishop Daniel Deng will be speaking at the launch of a Chatham House report on Sudan, "Decisions and Deadlines: A critical year for Sudan".
With just one year left until the referendum on the future of Southern Sudan, and elections due in April, the Archbishop of Canterbury has emphasised the vital importance of free and fair elections, and the necessity for concerted international effort to address the continuing humanitarian tragedy.
