[East African] On January 9, 2005, in Naivasha, the belligerents to the Sudan conflict put pen to paper, ending what was then billed as Africa's longest running war. The Comprehensive Peace Agreement between Khartoum and the Sudan Peoples' Liberation Movement (SPLM), set the stage for later events that would culminate in the birth of Africa's youngest nation, South Sudan on June 9, 2011.
