…as a Christian layman interested in peace and reconciliation. You have been a neutral intermediary between the Sudanese government and me at critical moments to convey diplomatic messages where there was a high risk of misunderstanding or miscalculation. I believe your efforts to get Sudanese high level cooperation and attention to the real issues in Darfur, without taking sides, has been a unique service which would have been very difficult for secular groups to accomplish.
