The Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA)

The Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), signed in 2005, was a peace deal ending Sudan’s long-running conflict between the north and south. It established procedures for southern independence, integrated rebel groups into the government, and addressed issues like wealth sharing and security. The CPA aimed to promote peace, stability, and development in Sudan by providing a framework for resolving disagreements peacefully. It laid the foundation for South Sudan's independence in 2011, helping to bring an end to decades of civil war and violence.
