Our country is welcoming with anticipation a new and rigorous period of its contemporary history in the second half of the current year, 2011. It enters this period with great hope and anticipation for the future, with the confidence of believers and an industrious determination and awareness of our capable human resources and abundant and diverse natural resources which represent a source of power for any developing nation. Sudan seeks to properly make use of and manage these resources as it has willingly chosen peace in order to harness these resources it has long waited to depend on, because a of war it had been tied to since before independence in 1956, until the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in 2005.
