Peace efforts in Africa received a boost this week, with $7 million worth of support that the African Union has allocated to regions that are most impacted by conflict and instability.
A statement from the continental body said that the funds will be disbursed towards several critical initiatives in Sudan and South Sudan, including backing the transition process in Juba and supporting Khartoum’s peace process through political dialogue, cessation of hostilities, and potential AU-led monitoring, verification, and compliance missions.
