Any hope generated by the official formation of a new transitional government in February dissipated in the face of political disagreement between and within the main government and opposition political groupings and limited implementation of the peace agreement amid prevailing insecurity, impunity, severe flooding, and economic dire straits. Falling global crude oil prices had political repercussions in terms of power struggles and, combined with the Covid-19 pandemic, badly affected an already struggling economy. With no budget agreed, and international agencies providing humanitarian services, the government struggled to pay civil servants and to manage debt and the economy. The Covid-19 pandemic provided an easy official explanation for the atrophy of the peace agreement, and hindered many aspects, but non-implementation was in reality a consequence of intractable political disagreements.
