At the beginning of the year, Sudan was still experiencing regional conflicts and an unstable political situation. Important elements of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) of 2005 had still not been implemented and a solution to the conflict in Darfur was not in sight. There was constant international pressure on the Sudanese government to be more cooperative, particularly over Darfur, where it was opposed to the deployment of UN peacekeeping forces. On the second anniversary of the CPA, the two parties blamed each other for undermining the peace agreement and threatened each other with severe consequences. The Sudanese economy continued to grow, stimulated by high oil prices and foreign investments. China assumed a dominant role in the oil sector as well as in infrastructure and hydroelectricity.
