In this audio-file interview with National Public Radio, Dr John Garang, former leader of the Sudan Peoples' Liberation Army, spoke about his hopes for a peaceful future for Sudan following the historic peace agreement reached in 2005. As Vice-President in the new Sudanese Government of National Unity, he said he had hoped the new government would be able to end the widespread human rights abuses in the Darfur region of Sudan. The full interview is a 37 minute audio file.

Note: John Garang died in a helicopter crash in 2005 and was succeeded as leader of the SPLM by Salva Kiir.
