  • The United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS) was established at the request of Sudan's government to assist the country's political "transition" towards domestic peace and demo­cratic governance. Rather then being able to see its mandate through, the Mission witnessed a transition to the ongoing war between the country’s two military formations. UNITAMS' good-offices function came into play in all three phases of the Mission's lifespan - under the civilian-military partnership, under the military government, and in the first weeks of the war. Facilitation efforts became particularly relevant following the October 2021 military coup and after the conclusion of a Framework Political Agreement by the military and their civilian counterparts in December 2022. UNITAMS worked with a broad spectrum of civilian, "para-civilian" and military Sudanese stakeholders and with various regional and inter­national partners. The establishment of the Tripartite Mechanism in coop­eration with the African Union and the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) lent additional legitimacy to the efforts of all three organisations - and was at the same time a valuable learning exercise. One of the main lesson for international actors is not to underestimate the strength of actors who fear losing out in a transition process that the international community seeks to support. The UNITAMS experience demonstrates that even a small political mis­sion can play an effective good-offices role, but it also shows the limits of this function - especially where military actors are set for war.
