 Sudan's movement for freedom and change and the Transitional Military Council recently reached an agreement on Sudan's transition. But that deal has yet to be implemented. This is the latest. I'm Susan Stagat. What's holding up the implementation of the peace deal? The political declaration that was signed recently is really only the first step. What's needed now is a constitutional declaration that will talk about who has which powers and how our decisions made. Secondly, the parties have to agree and negotiate on who gets which seats. This is complicated between them and even more complicated within the forces for freedom and change and the military council. And through all of this, the parties have to take big ideas, big principles and big commitments and turn them into action and an agenda that can be achieved. What risks and opportunities are there from the extended transitional period? Eh, I wouldn't really call it that. The parties wanted six months and five years respectively, so three years isn't all that long, particularly in such a complex transition process. The three years does give the greatest chance for credible elections. That means the guys who currently hold guns and money won't necessarily hold office at the end of the transitional period. But the risk is that the international community gets distracted by the next crisis. International partners are needed throughout this peace process to ensure that the parties meet and fulfill their commitments. The protesters continue to demand accountability for the June 3rd violence. How does the agreement address transitional justice? That's a great question and a difficult question. Most immediately, the agreement establishes a national independent investigation for the June 3rd events. But more broadly, the agreement recognizes that the Sudanese people need to find a way to move forward together and deal with their past. This means that Sudanese need to feel that the state and security agencies will protect, not threaten them. This includes broad goals like reforming the judiciary, establishing a new constitution, national reconciliation and healing. These are the right goals, but they're incredibly difficult, even under the best of circumstances.
