Light at the end of the tunnel?
On May 5, 2006, the government of Sudan signed an accord with the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA). However, the agreement was rejected by two other, smaller groups, Justice and Equality Movement, and a rival faction of the SLA. [66] The agreement was orchestrated by the U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, Robert B. Zoellick, Salim Ahmed Salim working on behalf of the African Union, AU officials themselves, and other foreign officials in Abuja, Nigeria. The accord calls for the disarmament of the Janjaweed militia, and for the rebel forces to disband and be incorporated into the army. [67][68]
