The Darfur conflict and Sudan's Comprehensive Peace Agreement: Is the CPA strong enough to be a model for Darfur?
With over 200,000 killed and 2 million displaced, the search for an end to the violence in Darfur continues. At the same time, slow progress has been seen in Sudan's Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) which ended Africa's longest-running civil war in 2005. The CPA has been touted as a model offering both a framework for power- and wealth-sharing as well as a significant momentum for peace in Darfur, but the strength of that model cannot be taken for granted. The current status of key CPA provisions (power sharing, wealth sharing, security arrangements, Abyei, elections) reveals challenges and recommendations for maintaining CPA vitality. Failure to further implement the CPA will negatively affect Darfur in the same way that continued violence in Darfur threatens to undermine the very model meant to bring peace to the region. As international pressure increasingly focuses on Darfur - especially with the likely transfer of a UN force there - the complex relationship between Darfur and the CPA, more than ever, requires a mutually reinforcing approach.
