2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement
The 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) was a peace treaty between North and South Sudan, ending decades of civil war. It outlined how to share power, wealth, and resources, including holding a referendum for Southern Sudan’s independence. The agreement aimed to address issues like security, governance, and development, allowing South Sudan to become an independent country in 2011. The CPA was a crucial step toward peace, stability, and self-determination for South Sudan, though challenges persisted in implementing its terms fully.
