In what's been seen as a significant step towards peace in Darfur, |
| [00:04.01] |
the Sudanese government has signed |
| [00:06.00] |
a temporary ceasefire agreement with JAM, |
| [00:08.06] |
one of the main rebel factions. |
| [00:09.80] |
The other main rebel group has so far refused talks |
| [00:12.85] |
with the government. |
| [00:13.78] |
James Copnall reports from Khartoum. |
| [00:15.77] |
The deal is believed to include a temporary ceasefire |
| [00:18.94] |
and a framework agreement for future talks. |
| [00:20.99] |
The Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir said |
| [00:23.61] |
the death sentence against the JAM fighters |
| [00:25.91] |
convicted of attacking Omdurman had been quashed, |
| [00:28.40] |
and 30% of them had been released as a goodwill measure. |
| [00:31.44] |
His act details of the agreement are not yet clear, |
| [00:34.43] |
but the fact has just been signed |
| [00:36.30] |
is a significant step forward |
| [00:37.85] |
in the peace process in Darfur. |
| [00:39.40] |
United Nations estimates |
| [00:41.08] |
that 300,000 people have died in Darfur, |
| [00:43.64] |
but the Sudanese government puts the figure at 10,000. |
