U.S. Welcomes Signing of Peace Roadmap in Sudan 苏丹政府大力推进和平进程

A Roadmap agreement aimed at forging a path for the parties to engage in political negotiation¹ leading to ending hostilities² and achieving broader political reconciliation³ in Sudan through a national dialogue was signed by members of the Sudan Call alliance of opposition⁴ groups. Signatories to the Roadmap Agreement include the Justice and Equality Movement-Gibril, the Sudan Liberation Movement-Minni Minnawi, the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North, and the National Umma Party.

苏丹多个反对组织组成的联盟共同签署了路标式协议，该协议旨在通过国家层面的对话，开启政治磋商的道路，结束敌对状态，实现更广阔的和政治和解。该协议的签署国包括由贾布里勒领导的公义平等运动、由明尼领导的苏丹解放运动、由苏丹北部和苏丹乌玛党领导的人民解放运动。

The U.S., UK, Norway, Germany and the European Union welcomed the signing of the Roadmap Agreement, saying it “constitutes a valuable step towards ending the wars in Sudan. We urge the signatories to lose no further time in agreeing to a cessation of hostilities and modalities for humanitarian⁵ access in Darfur and the Two Areas.” The U.S. and its allies also commended the government of Sudan for signing the Agreement on March 16.

美国、英国、挪威、德国以及欧盟对协议的签订表示欢迎，并称此举“对结束苏丹的战乱具有重要意义”。我们敦促各签署国，抓紧时间签订协议，结束敌对状态，让人道主义力量深入达尔富尔和两个区域。美国及其盟友也对苏丹3月17日签订此协议的举措大力赞扬。

The resumption of intensified⁶ fighting in 2011 between the Sudanese army and Sudan People Liberation Movement-North in the southern regions of Kordofan and Blue Nile was a remnant of the civil war between the SPLM-A and the central government of Khartoum, and reflects the lack of implementation⁷ of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement before and after South Sudan declared independence. The conflict in Darfur began in 2003 when ethnic⁸ tribes took up arms against the central government of Khartoum to protest against political, economic and social/ethnic marginalization.

2011年，苏丹军方与苏丹人民解放运动之间的冲突加剧，这表明双方之间的内战余患仍然存在，同时也反应出苏丹独立前后，对于《全面和平协议》的执行尚有欠缺。达尔富尔的冲突起于2003年，那时种族部落纷纷拿起武器反抗中央政府，抗议政治、经济、社会/种族方面的边缘化现状。

The Roadmap Agreement marks the first time Sudan's political and armed opposition groups jointly⁹ signed a deal with the government since fighting broke out in 2011.

因此，本次路标式协议标志着苏丹政治武装反对组织与苏丹政府自2011年爆发内战以来第一次共同签署协议。

The accord lays out the process for a permanent ceasefire, the mechanism¹⁰ for the opposition to participate in a national dialogue between the government, and includes provisions for negotiating an immediate¹¹ humanitarian aid.

该协议包括永久停战的进程、反对派与政府对话的机制、人道主义即时援助的补给。

The United States and its partners encourage opposition parties in Sudan to seize this opportunity to come together through a process of dialogue to achieve a political settlement addressing the challenges that continue face their people. Likewise, the government of Sudan should take all steps necessary to ensure a conducive¹² environment for peace to succeed.

美国及其盟友鼓励苏丹反对派抓住这个机会，通过政治对话机制解决苏丹人民面临的诸多挑战。同理，苏丹政府也应该采取一切措施，创造有利于和平的环境。
