On 7 February 2015, a joint EU statement collectively called for the immediate release of all political detainees and expressed the EU's commitment to freedom of expression and political participation. We continue to engage with the African Union, in particular with the Chair of the African Union High-level Implementation Panel, President Mbeki, and his work to mediate agreements on both the Darfur and Two Areas conflicts that would end fighting, allow humanitarian access, and pave the way for a comprehensive and inclusive National Dialogue process.</p> more like this
