​​​​​​​Sudan ... A peace agreement ends 17 years of civil war

Representatives of the various parties signed by their initials in Juba the eight protocols that make up the peace agreement, security, the land issue, transitional justice, compensation and reparation, the protocol for developing the nomadic and pastoral sector, the division of wealth, the protocol of power sharing, the issue of displaced persons and refugees, according to SUNA.

The chief mediator and security advisor to the President of South Sudan, Tutko Gatluk, said yesterday, Saturday, that the government of Southern Sudan "has implemented what it pledged to achieve peace for the Sudanese people."

It is expected that Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok, President of South Sudan, Salva Kiir, and many foreign delegations, will formally sign on Monday with the Sudanese Revolutionary Front.

This alliance includes the movements that fought in Darfur (west), and in the states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile in the south.

Hamdok went to Juba on Sunday at the head of a large delegation that includes five ministers, according to the "SUNA" agency.

Peace negotiations, a priority for the new Sudanese government after the topple of Omar al-Bashir in April 2019, began in November in Juba.

The agreement stipulates the necessity of dismantling the armed movements and their fighters joining the regular army, which will be reorganized to be representative of all components of the Sudanese people.

But two groups will not sign the agreement on Monday, namely the "Sudan Liberation Movement" led by Abdel Wahid Nur, and the "Popular Movement for the Liberation of Northern Sudan" led by Abdel Aziz Al-Hilu.

It is worth noting that the peace agreements have collapsed a precedent, such as the 2006 agreement in Abuja (Nigeria), according to "Euronews".
