 The area was due to be given to South Sudan under the terms of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement which required use of the Sudan "north–south line" as of 1 January 1956.It was not until 1960 that the Kafia Kingi area was transferred north of that line and added to Darfur.Sudan controls all or most of this area today, though at times since independence South Sudan forces have briefly controlled large portions.
