Objectives and Research Themes

The primary objective of this paper is to analyze and evaluate the current status of the peace process and the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) as a tool for peacebuilding in Sudan. The research examines whether the CPA provides a sufficient formal framework for sustainable peace and whether its implementation is effective and progressive, particularly focusing on the commitment of the conflict parties.

• Theoretical evaluation of peacebuilding strategies within the Sudanese context.
• Diachronic comparison between the 1972 Addis Ababa Accords and the 2005 CPA.
• Analysis of key implementation areas including security, wealth sharing, and border demarcation.
• Investigation into the political role and commitment of the National Congress Party.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the central focus of this research?

The work focuses on the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in Sudan and evaluates its efficacy as a tool for sustainable peacebuilding in the context of the North-South conflict.

What are the core research themes?

The core themes include theoretical peacebuilding frameworks, a comparative analysis with historical precedents like the Addis Ababa Accords, the practical implementation status of the CPA, and the role of key stakeholders.

What is the primary objective or research question?

The primary research question asks whether the CPA possesses the formal quality required for peace and if its implementation process is effective and progressive enough to prevent a return to armed conflict.

Which scientific methodology is applied?

The research employs a theoretical framework based on peacebuilding literature (specifically Reychler) and a diachronic comparative method to analyze the CPA in relation to the Addis Ababa Accords.

What does the main part of the work cover?

The main part covers the structural breakdown of the CPA, the comparison with the 1972 agreement, and a critical analysis of current implementation failures, including security threats and economic disputes.

Which keywords characterize this study?

Key terms include Sudan, CPA, Peacebuilding, National Congress Party, SPLM/A, Oil-revenue, and Border demarcation.

How does the CPA differ from the Addis Ababa Accords?

While both agreements sought to maintain a united Sudan, the CPA is more extensive in its paperwork and provides the South with greater political autonomy and a recognized standing armed force compared to the 1972 agreement.

Why is the role of the National Congress Party considered problematic?

The paper argues that the NCP consistently stalls critical CPA institutions, ignores the "spirit" of the agreement, and prioritizes resource extraction over creating an environment that makes unity attractive to the South.
