We are particularly pleased that it would be possible for many people in the world who are concerned about the situation of Christian-Muslim relations in the two Sudans, and the economic and social development of the newest state (South Sudan) to have the opportunity to listen to PROCMURA’s views on the situation as ably represented by the General Adviser.
