The first year of peace in the south was overshadowed by deteriorating conflict in Darfur, with prospects for a political solution further receding. Tensions in the east also escalated. This prevented an improvement in Sudan's international relations, even as the oil economy continued to boom. Formation of new national and southern institutions was delayed by the death of southern leader John Garang, and the Government of National Unity (GNU) ended up being dominated by entrenched elites of the National Congress (NC). As the northern opposition was reluctant to join the GNU, and the Sudan Peoples' Liberation Movement/ Army (SPLM/A) focused its attention on the south, the NC's commitment to the spirit of the peace agreement was called into question.
