Bürgenstock Agreement

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bürgenstock Agreement was signed on January 19, 2002 at the Bürgenstock in Central Switzerland ( Canton Lucerne / Nidwalden ) between the conflicting parties in the war of civil secession in South Sudan .

The government in Khartoum and the rebel army SPLA signed a provisional armistice for the Nuba Mountains . The agreement came about under pressure from the United States and with the help of Switzerland as a mediator and was considered a "test run" for the later peace agreement for South Sudan .

In the Nuba Mountains remaining in Sudan, the armistice did not last. As of 2011, aid organizations have not been able to visit the area for at least 3 years. Part of the area was not under government control and was bombed and fought over with ground forces. Another ground offensive followed in 2016. The war was still going on when protests against the government arose in Sudan at the turn of 2018/2019.
