to 2007.
The method of analysis is descriptive and critical, the sources of data
that are mainly those of previous published notes and unpublished sources
(secondary sources) from UNMIS monthly reports; monthly magazine; and
daily news papers.
The findings of the study reveal that most of the achievements on
Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) revolve around what had been
achieved on power-sharing; wealth-sharing; Southern Kordofan and BlueNile
and security arrangements. Problems and difficulties that are facing
