This war was successfully resolved by the Addis Ababa Peace Agreement of 1972, which was meditated by Emperor Haille Selassie of Ethiopia, the All African Council of Churches and six African countries.
The Addis Ababa Agreement failed to satisfy the aspirations of the peoples of the “Closed Districts” as the agreement neither put them in the center of power in parity with the North, nor did it allow them the right of self-determination.
Numeiri’s abrogation of the Addis Ababa agreement and Southern frustration and dissatisfaction with it, coupled with the increased pace of Islamization and Arabization of the South, led to the outbreak of hostilities.

Not only was I dissatisfied with the Addis Ababa Agreement on the Southern Sudan, I was not satisfied with the objectives and the aims of the Anya Nya as a movement.
A: We were opposed to the terms of the Addis Agreement because its basic terms and the basis for the Agreement were first to absorb the Anya Nya into the National Army, second to integrate it after absorption and third to destroy it.
In brief the concrete basis for the Addis Ababa Agreement was to disarm the Anya Nya forces that had proved formidable in the battlefield through peace.

The conflict between the North and the South erupted in 1955 with a mutiny in the Southern town of Torit From 1955 until 1972 civil war was fought between the government in the North and the rapidly expanding Anyanya Forces seeking independence for the South.

Conclusion At this point it is useful to examine the kinds of coercive and nonco- ercive incentives that were at the disposal of both domestic and inter- national actors in Sudan in the 1970s.At the outset, two important points should be mentioned.
In the period before the Addis Ababa agreement of 1972, President Nimeiry, seeking a political solution to the conflict, made several ges- tures intended to promote southern confidence.
Nimeiry's sabotage of the agreement polarized the society, undermin- ing the fragile norms of relations that had been slowly developing within the elite.

The diplomatic jets continue to land at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa: yesterday, the US Special Envoy to Somalia, Ambassador Robert Oakley, arrived in town for a meeting with President Meles.
However, while UNOSOM has tried to implement the Addis Ababa Agreement, the fact that it has not been obliged to do so by any Security Council resolution has created an unfortunate ambivalence on the part of some who are managing affairs in Somalia on behalf of UNOSOM.
It would therefore be helpful if the Security Council were to endorse the Addis Ababa Agreement as a basis for the peaceful resolution of the problems in Somalia.

When the Addis Ababa agreement of 1972 ended Sudan's first civil war, many rebels, Garang among them, were incorporated into the Sudanese armed forces.
Garang realised that the peace agreement was doomed, even before Nimeiri abrogated it in 1983 and imposed sharia throughout the country.
His agreement to negotiated humanitarian access for the UN's Operation Lifeline Sudan was a first for a rebel movement, and set an example many now follow.
