European Commission expresses regret on the death of Sudanese Vice-President Garang

The European Commission expressed today his "deep regret" on learning of the tragic death of the Sudanese Vice-President John Garang in a helicopter crash. The European Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid, Louis Michel, said that he "met several times Mr Garang and had the highest respect for him, notably in the decisive role he played in the conclusion in January of a comprehensive peace agreement ending more than 20 years of civil war in South Sudan." The Commissioner added: "it is now essential that other Sudanese statesmen work together to meet the challenge of continuing his work and consolidating the peace process".
