Sudan’s government has agreed to a peace deal with five rebel groups in a move seen by observers as a significant step towards resolving multiple deep-rooted civil conflicts that have caused immense suffering in the country for decades.

 

The agreement will provide a welcome boost to the transitional government that took power after the fall of the authoritarian ruler Omar al-Bashir last year.

 

On Monday, officials from Khartoum met leaders of the Sudan Revolutionary Front, an umbrella organisation of rebel groups from the western region of Darfur and the southern states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile, in the capital of neighbouring South Sudan for the deal.
