DIALOGUE SESSIONS
Evaluating Sudan's Comprehensive Peace Agreement
July 31, 2009
Peace in Sudan: So near … so far?
Proceedings of the National Civic Forum Dialogue Sessions 2007-2008
Edited by Dr. Hassan Abdel Ati & Prof. Galal el Din El Tayeb
Khartoum: National Civic Forum / EDGE for Consultancy and Research 2009

From the foreword: More than half way through its implementation, the successful completion of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) for the Sudan seems seriously at risk: Its pace of implementation is slow. While the CPA has stopped the war in the south, it has contributed to the escalation of others (Darfur and eastern Sudan) and the flaring of new ones (in Kordofan and northern Sudan). Sudanese people in both southern and northern Sudan are yet to feel the peace dividend in their development, livelihood, security or stability. Civil society organizations so far did not, or were not given the space to contribute to enhancing the CPA implementation to its anticipated end.
