This was a difficult year for the political transition in Sudan, but it was also marked by decisive steps forward. The institutions of transition remained divided between civilians (government) and the military (half of the Sovereign Council). This fragmentation did not facilitate the implementation of important reforms: the Legislative Council, one of the key institutions provided for by the Constitutional Declaration, was not formed. In October, the political scene was further shaken by the historical agreement signed in Juba between the transitional institutions and armed groups of the Sudanese Revolutionary Front. But this agreement did not include the most influential armed groups, the Sudanese People’s Liberation Movement-North led by Abdul Aziz al Helou (splm-n al Helou) and the Sudanese Liberation Movement led by Abdel Wahid Nur (slm-aw), and the costs of the implementation were not secured.
