With mediation assistance from Switzerland-based Center for Humanitarian Dialog, the United Nations
Children's Fund ( UNICEF  ) has signed a historical agreement with Sudan’s Justice and Equality
Movement (JEM) to end the recruitment of child soldiers and protect the well-being and education of
the children affected by conflict in Darfur.

 UNICEF   has been granted unimpeded and regular access to Justice and Equality Movement locations, persons and relevant documents, while JEM has also agreed to transfer all children under 18 to  UNICEF  ’s care in facilitating their reintegration.

Our earnest accolades, United Nations Children's Fund and Justice and Equality Movement for your
peaceful agreement to prioritize child protection, and many thanks, Center for Humanitarian Dialog,
for your assistance. May the youths of Darfur and the world be graced with abundant security, comfort and love.
