Sudan Govt, Main Rebel Groups Sign Peace Deal

A peace agreement between the transitional Sudanese government and the Sudan Revolutionary Front rebel alliance has been signed in the South Sudanese capital of Juba, witnessed by a strong local, regional, and international presence. The formal signing follows an initial agreement made on August 31, following a year of negotiations. On his arrival in Juba, Sudanese Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok told reporters that the comprehensive peace agreement would "open a new page that ends wars and puts an end to the suffering of our people in displacement camps".
