Sudan's Juba Peace Agreement on Life Support

 The Rift Valley Institute published in December 2021 an analysis titled "What Next for the Juba Peace Agreement?"

The Juba Peace Agreement (JPA) is a problematic document that bestowed power on the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) without taking into account the other groups in regions of Sudan that have experienced years of conflict.  The October 25 military coup that removed Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok succeeded in part because of the overt participation or tacit support of the SRF leaders, most of whom aligned themselves with the military coup.  The future of the JPA is now in serious doubt.
