Pact Signed in Darfur
An article by 
A first step has been made towards peace in Darfur with an agreement of “good intention” being signed between the government of Sudan and the main rebel group from the western Darfur region.
The agreement comes after negotiations hosted by Qatar and jointly sponsored by Qatar, the United Nations, African Union and Arab League and they hold the hope that this will lead to broader conference on peace for Darfur.
It seems that the agreement includes measures to aid and protect refugees in Darfur and a commitment by the two sides to continue negotiations in Doha.
May this be a true move towards peace and security.
