==Current situation==
[[File:Pronk zoellick.jpg|thumb|[[Robert Zoellick]], U.S. Deputy Secretary of State (right) with [[Jan Pronk]], the United Nations' special representative to Sudan during Donors Conference for Sudan held in Oslo on April 12, 2005.]]
The [[Ceasefire Agreement]] comes into effect on the date of signature of the [[Comprehensive Peace Agreement]] (CPA). Not all [[belligerent]] groups have been party to the peace negotiations and many have proclaimed their displeasure that they have not been directly involved or their interests taken into account and stated they will not automatically feel bound by the CPA as negotiated by government of Sudan and SPLM/A. There is also an increase of well armed [[criminal]] elements that could see the UN as a lucrative target, including groups operating cross border such as the [[Lord’s Resistance Army]].

The strategic end state is determined as:
a. A stable Sudan capable of conducting a peaceful referendum 61/2 years after the Mandate in South Sudan and Abyei.
b. The ability for South Sudan to determine Sudanese unity or peaceful secession.
c. The ability for Abyei to determine unification with Bar el Gazhal or separate status within North Sudan.
d. Provision for a stable environment in Southern Kordofan/Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile State to allow the peoples of those States through consultation come to an agreement that will be the final settlement of the political conflict in their State.

Brigadier Moinuddin Ahmed of the [[Pakistan Army]], who was Deputy Force Commander of the United Nations peace-keeping mission in Sudan, was assassinated on 22 October 2009, during his visit to [[Pakistan]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/news/pakistan/07-gunmen-shoot-dead-two-soldiers-injure-one-in-islamabad-ha-03 |title= Army loses another brigadier to terror |access-date=October 22, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091024125234/http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/news/pakistan/07-gunmen-shoot-dead-two-soldiers-injure-one-in-islamabad-ha-03 |archive-date=October 24, 2009 }}</ref>
