<p>Former President Mbeki has chaired the African Union High-Level Implementation
Panel (AUHIP) since its inception in 2009. Mandated to support implementation of the
Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), signed in 2005 in the wake of the Second Sudanese
Civil War, the AUHIP supported the process that led to the independence of South Sudan
and facilitated mediation efforts related to a number of Sudanese conflicts. The focus
of the AUHIP will need to be considered in light of the removal of President Bashir
by the Sudanese military on 11 April, but continued engagement by the African Union
will be vital to supporting a transition to inclusive civilian rule in Sudan. While
the AUHIP has been engaged constructively on some discreet areas of the broader regional
conflict, the core South Sudan peace process has been led by the Intergovernmental
Authority on Development, which delivered the Revitalised Agreement on the Conflict
in South Sudan, signed on 12 September 2018. </p>
