actor1: Government of Sudan (2019-)
actor2: SLM/A-Minnawi: Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (Minnawi Faction)
location: Khartoum
notes: Other: On 29 April 2021, Minni Minawi Arko - who leads one of the two main factions of the SLM/A rebellion (and was the only one of these factions to sign the Juba Peace Agreement) - was appointed Governor of Darfur. The precise powers of the Governor have not been defined, nor have the existing five states of Darfur been merged into a single administrative system. The development is likely to raise tensions in parts of Darfur, and further strain protracted peace talks with Minawi's rival Abdul Wahid el Nur, who commands the more militarily significant faction of the SLM/A based in Jebel Marra. Event coded to Khartoum (Khartoum state).
