Abstract:This article examines the peacemaking work of the New Sudan Council of Churches in southern Sudan, particularly since 1997, which focuses on reaching peace agreements between conflicting parties. This peacemaking work has had impressive successes but its effectiveness is under threat from a number of factors following the 2005 comprehensive peace agreement which have resulted in high levels of intra and inter-community violence. In traditional communities, conflict-resolving procedures are often limited when faced with contemporary conflicts. To protect these peace agreements and to help build sustainable peace, this article recommends a greater emphasis on peacebuilding, in both its conflict prevention and recovery aspects. A four-stage model of peacebuilding is proposed and seven important components of a peacebuilding strategy are presented. Ref., sum. (p. VI). [Journal abstract]
