Sudan is a nation with a long history of conflicts, some of which are still ongoing today. It endured the longest armed conflict in Africa’s history, one that lasted over 20 years, saw an estimated two million people die, and was only ended in 2005 with the Comprehensive Peace Agreement between the Government of Sudan and the Sudanese People Liberation Army (SPLA). Despite being concluded, this conflict still has implications for Sudan as it resulted in the 2011 secession of South Sudan, along with ongoing border disputes.
