On January 6, in advance of the referendum, the Managing Global Insecurity Project at Brookings will host a discussion of the impact and implications of the referendum and the prospects for sustainable peace in the country. As Minister of International Development of Norway, Hilde F. Johnson played a pivotal role in the CPA negotiations. She will discuss her new book Waging Peace in Sudan: The Inside Story of the Negotiations that Ended Africa’s Longest Civil War (Sussex Academic Press, 2010), based on her experiences and her unique access to the parties and the talks. Johnson will be joined by Rep. Donald Payne (D-NJ), who will comment on the potential outcomes of the referendum and Gayle Smith, National Security Council senior director for development and democracy, who will discuss the regional implications of the referendum as well as her own personal experience working as a journalist in Africa. Brookings Nonresident Senior Fellow Rich Williamson, who served as special envoy to Sudan during the Bush Administration, will also join the discussion.

Senior Fellow Ted Piccone, deputy director of Foreign Policy at Brookings, will provide introductory remarks and moderate the discussion. After the program, panelists will take audience questions.
