Darfur Rebels In Pre-Talks Deal

Several rebel groups from Darfur are meeting in Sudan's southern city of Juba, to reach a compromise in their negotiation with the government.

Not less than seven rebel factions have gathered for the meeting, in advance of peace talks due in Libya later this month.

Representatives from the Justice and Equality Movement and at least five representatives of different Sudan Liberation Army factions are now in Juba for the pre-talks being hosted by the southern government.

This offers the rebels a last chance to find a common position ahead of the talks which are due to start on October 27th.

Peace talks in Year 2006 in Abuja, failed to end the four-year conflict which has led to the death of about 200,000 people and the displacement of about two million.

There are about one dozen splinter groups in Darfur, each with its own demands and grievances.
