Sudan. As the country prepares for a vote on national unity in 2011, it is critical for the international community to ensure that, regardless of the outcome, security and human rights will be upheld.

Time is short and urgent reflection and action are needed to ensure a peaceful future. This is Sudan’s Kairos Moment. It is time to choose life. We have no time to waste.
