CEASEFIRE. For the fear of escalation of the Sudan conflict and decadent humanitarian condition of the crisis, as well as burden of refugees already in neighbouring countries and conquest strain on the international community, it was important that regional actors wage in at least to tame the conflict. Since attack was met with unwavering resistance at the height of hostilities, a ceasefire was desirable at least to arrest and put the conflict in check. What this meant to some actors especially those under the aegis of IGAD threatened by spill-overs and others motivated by decaying humanitarian conditions is that a ceasefire was an expedient end-objective. In as much as escalation beyond the Sudan borders were prevented, they were contented. The actors‟ envisioned objective was a peace agreement that terminates bloodshed, loss of lives and destruction. Therefore, pressure was mounted on the contending factions to agree to a ceasefire in 2002, the signing and implementation of which could be interpreted as successful in 2005. 137 ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇., Op. cit., pp.104-105. ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,.
