Image: Peace agreement dancers in Kapoeta, Sudan

Description: Original caption states, " Sudan: Disseminating the Peace — Sudan residents of Kapoeta, Eastern Equatoria, do a traditional peace dance at a rally where the Comprehensive Peace Agreement text was distributed. In present-day Eastern Equatoria state, South Sudan. Eighteen months after the agreement that ended Sudan's two-decade civil war had been signed, few Sudanese knew its details. That began to change in April and May 2006, when USAID launched an initiative to help more than 150,000 people in five Southern Sudanese states access details of the agreement and participate more fully in implementing the peace. Documents in Arabic and English were distributed to all government officials in the south, and an official summary was developed and published in English and Arabic. The Sudan Radio Service created audio versions of the summary in seven languages — Moro, Arabic, simple Arabic, Toposa, Shilluk, Dinka, and Nuer — and the Sudan Mirror published 22,000 summaries to be included as supplements in its Easter edition."
