The accord addressed conflicts in Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile through arrangements on security, power-sharing, land, justice and displaced communities.
What happened
The agreement followed negotiations hosted by South Sudan after the 2019 removal of Omar al-Bashir. Some major armed movements did not sign, limiting its reach.
Why it mattered
Supporters viewed the deal as an important step toward ending wars that had killed and displaced large numbers of civilians. Implementation required funding, institutional reform and integration of fighters.
Consequences
The United Nations and African Union welcomed the agreement while urging inclusive implementation and continued talks with non-signatories.
