Add tomatoes, water, spices; stir until sugar is dissolved.
Add sweet potatoes and chick peas. Cover, bring to boil, reduce heat, simmer covered, stirring occasionally until potatoes are tender, around 40 minutes.
About 5 minutes before the stew is finished cooking, prepare couscous according to directions.
To serve, spoon stew over couscous, sprinkle with cilantro.
