jan 9, 2005 - Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA)

Description:

the following implementations were to be made:

• Southern autonomy for 6 years, at the end of which would be a referendum to decide if the southern provinces should secede from the rest of Sudan.
• Revenue from oilfields to be split equally between the north and the south
• Islamic law to remain in the north and voted on for the south
• If secession vote negative, the south and north would combine their troops into a 39,000 strong force.

The CPA also called for extensive changes to government security forces and more democratic principles leading up to national elections as well as the referendum.
