It took until shortly after the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2005/06 that the union could be revived again. A year later, in 2007, the union numbered 50 members again, in Sudan as well as in exile.[1] Altogether it lasted twenty years until the organization was able in 2009 to reopen a settlement in the capital of Sudan. The same year the union claimed back its building in Khartoum.[2]
