After an estimated 2,000,000 deaths in the bloody Sudanese Civil War, a historic agreement is signed between the Islamic government and Christian SLM rebels. Protocols on power-sharing, sharing of oil revenues, and separate monetary systems in the north and south are established. The agreement does not apply to the conflict in the Darfur region of western Sudan. This 15-month war between pro-government Arab militias and African tribal rebels has been fought largely over access to arable land. |
