| JEM refuses to sign Darfur peace deal |
| 2006-05-05 |
| The Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), one of three rebel factions from Sudan's Darfur region under intense pressure to sign a peace plan, said on Friday it would not sign the document as it stands. The African Union, which drafted the peace plan, earlier said it would not reopen substantial negotiations on the text. |

| #4 sorry, I see this is wapos headline. Suprised Reuters ran this factoid seperately from the larger story, which is that a deal HAS been reached. |

| #2 why this headline? Um, because this is one of the three rebel factions, and won't sign? |

| #1 dan, why this headline? The larger SLM will sign, apparently, as will the Khartoum govt, opening the way to the deployment of UN peacekeepers. Im holding my breath for snags in the process, but todays news is good. |
