The New York Times > International > Africa > Sudan Government and Rebels in Deal to End Fighting in South

What a horrific tragedy! Two million people dead. I wonder if this settlement is real or only another attempt at settling long standing ethnic and religious killing and all the grim effects of war at any cost?

"An estimated two million people have died in Sudan's decades of war, from starvation and disease as well as bullets and bombs. Previous attempts at negotiation have gone nowhere and this round of talks, which traces its origins back to 1997, have been close to collapse numerous times."
