The escalation of conflict in Darfur overshadowed all other developments in 2004. As in 1998, the country was described by the UN as the scene of the “world's worst humanitarian crisis”. Despite much international attention and diplomatic pressure, the security and humanitarian situation continued to deteriorate throughout the year. This dampened international delight over the success of peace negotiations between the Government of the Sudan (GoS) and the armed opposition in the south, the Sudan Peoples' Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A), that helped to end the world's longest civil war. On the economic level, increasing oil production and high prices boosted revenue, and prospects for peace in the south helped raise the level of international investment. Western powers, however, made stronger engagement conditional on settlement of the Darfur crisis.
