The protocol later culminated the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in 2005. The CPA includedfull autonomy of the South and an interim period of sex years, with a referendum at the end of theperiod. The interim period was considered to be a chance for the North to ‘convince’ the south thatreconciliation and unity between the two parts could exist and without the north imposing discriminationand inequality (Deng 2010:8). The SPLA, however, was still fighting for a separate state for southernSudan.In January 2011 the referendum was held with a majority of registered Sudanese voters voting forseparation, which later led to south Sudan officially being declared independent in July 2011. Theseparation of the two states has, however, not led to an absolute peace as new conflicts have risen.8
4. Purpose and research questionsThroughout history, the importance of civil society and its characteristics has been examined anddisputed by a numerous of western philosophers and social scientists. The importance of civil society insocieties outside the Western world has, however not generated similar quantities of research (Edwards2004:10). There has been little systematic analysis of the role of civil society in the context of armedconflicts in Sudan and with this in mind, my aim with this study is therefore to examine the role of thecivil society in peacebuilding in Sudan. The specific role of civic engagement and civil society inpeacebuilding and within a fragile society is an interesting, yet difficult task. The aim is therefore toanalyze existing research knowledge on the nexus of civil society in Sudan and its peacebuilding efforts.Essentially, the hope is to depict the importance of civil society in peacebuilding between battlinggroups, and analyze the process from conflict to sustainable peace. Civil society in the context of armedconflict and its potentials, engagement, limitations and critical factors will be discussed and analyzed.Also analytical experiences and lesson learned will elucidate the complexity of the conflict and developreflections and questions for further research within the field.• Is there a connection between civil society and peacebuilding in Sudan?• What peacebuilding initiatives have been taken?• What are the challenges facing civil society organizations in Sudan?9
