Key issues still pending in Sudan peace pact

This is one of the first very serious agreements. There have been numerous agreements that were broken 26 hours later.

This one though, comes on the heels of peace offers between Chad and Sudan. A foundation for understanding between the two countries has been laid. There is also high level support. The two presidents, Chad’s Idris Deby and Sudan’s Omar al- Bashir are personally involved; so are the Arab League, the African Union and the UN. There is a good chance that this one will stick.
This agreement must, however be broadened. It needs to involve all the rebel groups if Darfur is ever going to experience lasting peace.
