Significance
The Constitutional Declaration -- a power-sharing agreement between the military leaders who ousted former President Omar al-Bashir and the protest leaders who led the popular revolution -- makes a peace agreement with Sudan’s various armed factions a priority for the first six months of the transition.
Impacts
For now, de facto ceasefires should mostly hold, though sporadic skirmishes, including among non-formal armed actors, may continue.
Progress in peace talks would enhance wider prospects for stability, creating an enabling environment for economic and political reforms.
Progress could also accelerate plans for the withdrawal of the joint UN-African Union peacekeeping mission in Darfur.
