actor1: UNAMID: United Nations/African Union Hybrid Operation in Darfur (2007-)
actor2: Government of Sudan (2019-)
location: Khartoum
notes: Agreement: On 31 December 2020, the mandate for the UNAMID peacekeeping force expired, and the planned (phased) drawdown of peacekeepers and infrastructure began. Peacekeeping patrols are also to finish. The mission will be replaced with the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission, which will focus on mediation, peacebuilding and providing assistance to transitional authorities in Khartoum, as responsibility for security in Darfur is transferred to state forces. The withdrawal has sparked demonstrations in several IDP camps in Darfur, with the region continuing to experience recurrent violence, albeit at lower levels than at the height of the war in Darfur.
