UN-led humanitarian dialogue to continue with Sudan
May 10, 2009 (KHARTOUM) – The UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs said Sunday that increased cooperation is needed between aid providers and the Government of Sudan.
“The High-Level Committee and the meetings I had in Khartoum marked positive steps forward in our engagement with the Government of Sudan on policy issues as well as the operating environment, following other recent positive decisions,” said UN official John Holmes.
He was referring to a joint UN-Sudanese committee formed by a ministerial degree issued May 2, which he co-chairs with Haroun Lual, Minister for Humanitarian Affairs. The committee, which is now empowered to serve as the central monitoring mechanism for the aid delivery system in Darfur, last week agreed on ways to implement decrees on cooperating with aid groups and ensure the safety of humanitarian staff.
“Agreement was reached on what we hope will be an effective monitoring mechanism at the state, national, and international levels, and a strengthened aid delivery system,” said Holmes in Khartoum, where he had met with senior officials and ministers.
In addition to visiting North Darfur, the UN aid chief on Friday went to Akobo in Jonglei state where tens of thousands civilians have fled recent fighting between the Murle and Nuer tribes, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
“Since January 2009, up to 1000 people have been killed and 100,000 people displaced in seven states in Southern Sudan due to LRA attacks and inter-ethnic clashes,” said a statement from the UN agency.
Holmes is at the end of a five-day visit in Sudan. He departs Sudan on Monday.
Sudan is the country with the largest population of displaced people in the world.

UN-led humanitarian dialogue to continue with Sudan
Locke subscribed to the three levels of law: top-God’s law, middle-Natural law, bottom-Civil Law, and he believed that each type of law must correspond up to the next level. Men believed that while God’s law was unknowable, it was possible to understand God’s law through an understanding of nature, and that civil law was bound by the rules of natural law.
The most commonly used formula for reasoning is called Modus Ponens: If A and B both exist, it’s probable that C exists if it is a combination of A and B.
For example: (A) 1 + (B) 1 = (C) 2.
Or: If (A) I live in a country where everyone is free under God’s laws, and (B) you live in my country, then (C) we’re both free under God’s laws.
New Paradigm:
(A) I live in a false paradigm where everyone is a slave under Satan’s laws, and (B) you live in a laboratory, then (C) we’re both slaves under Satan’s laws.
Jesus saith onto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh onto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).
