As Sudan prepares for elections next month, regional leaders met in
Nairobi to discuss how to save the Comprehensive Peace Agreement from
collapse.
There have been doubts whether the remaining phases of the Sudanese peace deal will be implemented in less than nine months as the six-year interim period draws to a close.
Members of the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (Igad), which presided over the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), held the first meeting since the signing of the peace deal five years ago.
Among the key outstanding issues are the demarcation of the North-South border, negotiations on post-referendum arrangements, and the completion of the disarmament and redeployment of armed forces, which has seen a rise in skirmishes.
