Darfur rebels 'sign peace deal'

[DoYouEverWonder]

5 May 2006

The largest rebel group in Sudan's Darfur region has agreed to sign a peace deal with the government, African Union mediators have said.

The breakthrough came when the SLM leader Minni Minnawi returned to the talks, following a late-night session.

However, two smaller groups say they are not happy with the terms of the deal on offer. The government has already agreed to sign.

International negotiators say the deal is the best hope for peace in Darfur.

1. Sounds good but with a small faction still not agreeing...

I hope it works and ends the killing and suffering. Time will tell.
