Ceasefire

Peace in our time!

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) -- The Sudanese government and the country's main southern rebel group will sign a peace agreement January 10 in Kenya to end more than 20 years of civil war, a senior government official said Saturday.

The government and the Sudan People's Liberation Army had pledged to finalize an agreement to end the longest-running war in Africa by December 31, making a commitment last month before the U.N. Security Council that held a rare meeting in Nairobi, Kenya, to spur the peace talks.

I'll believe it when I see it. Considering that this is basically a religious war between Christian and animist rebels, and the government that's run by the so-called Religion of Peace, I don't have much hope of this being a legitimate ceasefire.
