| 2006-06-21 |
| (SomaliNet) The Sudanese government and rebels in eastern of the nation have signed a ceasefire deal in a meeting in neighbouring Eritrea, AFP reported Tuesday. The Sudan government and the rebels agreed to end hostilities to pave the way for a lasting settlement, the Eritrean mediators said. For more than 10 years, the Eastern Front rebels, allied to other Sudanese rebel groups, have controlled Hamesh Koreb close to the Eritrean border. According to the Eritrean mediator Yemane Gebreab the talks so far had been friendly, serious and positive and that more substantive issues would now be dealt with. "We are only at the beginning of the road, we have a long way to go," Khartoum's representative Mustafa Osman Ismail said. |
