In Sudan, former President Jimmy Carter and South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu met with officials in southern Sudan Tuesday as part of a mission to restart peace talks. Violence has continued despite a north-south peace deal in January 2005. Archbishop Tutu and President Carter are among a newly formed “Group of Elders” formed to address ongoing conflicts.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu: “We hope that we can do something that will make a significant difference, that will bring peace to this land.”
