Report explores future for peace in Sudan

9 January 2008

On the second anniversary of the signing of the Sudanese Comprehensive Peace
Agreement (CPA), Chatham House today published a report of its November 2007
seminar on the future of the CPA.

The seminar brought together senior Sudanese Government representatives from
both sides of the dispute and discussed how international attention has shifted
from the North-South conflict in Sudan to focus on Darfur. It was felt that this
had contributed to the problems in CPA implementation.

The report highlights the risk of renewed conflict arising out of land disputes
and the return of internally displaced persons. It suggests that the regional
early warning system - CEWARN - would be well suited to helping avoid these
problems and highlights the need for continued engagement of all parties, both
internal and external, if the CPA is to deliver lasting peace.
