The Sudanese government is certain that the new eastern Sudan track protocol, which is a part of the Juba Peace Agreement, will be implemented. The Track Protocol was signed by Sudanese government and the Sudan Revolutionary Front in October of last year. When they signed it caused major backlash from Beja leaders. A Sovereign Council member, FA Minister, and the chairperson of the Beja Operation Conference went to Juba for the delegation negotiation with the leader of the eastern Sudanese Popular Front for Liberation and Justice. Some officials that have spoken out about the track protocol have insisted that it is comprehensive and stress that it shouldn’t be frozen. Previous challenges have arisen however, Sudan has been taking in tens of thousands Ethiopians due to the Ethiopian federal government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front.
The new track protocol is going to do great things for Sudan and the Revolutionary Front, Sudan has been a divided country for a long time so it is a very good thing when they are able to come to conclusions for conflicts at any time. I think that the continued effort from all different parts of Sudan is a positive sign that the country can continue to unify as time goes on. It is also a very good sign that Sudan has had previous challenges and is still able to continue to unify and strengthen despite the challenges they face.
Sudan’s development and small steps towards unification can have a very positive impact on Sudan and their future as a country. Sudan has been growing very quickly economically due to their exporting of petroleum and gold. They get about 2 billion dollars from some of the world’s largest superpowers. With the continued unification of the country as a whole, combined with a 2 billion dollar intake Sudan can become a “safe place” for refugees from surrounding countries. Sudan could also become a helping hand for their neighboring countries that are struggling with covid and economic development.
