On October 3, 2020, in Juba, South Sudan, a peace agreement was reached between the Sudanese interim authorities and the rebel alliance. In a report to the United Nations Security Council circulated on Friday, February 4, 2022, the expert said that a group of rebels in Darfur signed a peace agreement with the Sudanese government in 2020 and continued to operate in Libya. “In return for their work, experts said, the five major Darfur rebels that signed the 2020 Juba Peace Agreement were paid and logistically supported. Experts said the UAE saw the Juba agreement as the basis for a successful transition and recommended that the Darufria movement join the government. Rebel groups also exist in Libya, experts say, and continue to “strengthen” their capabilities by leveraging revenues from the Troy gold mine at Jebel Mara’s home and the gold mine near Danaya in South Darfur.
