sudan: Secret negotiations in Chad between Khartoum and Dar Four rebellions

Dar Four rebels, in Western Sudan, said this week they are ready to sign a ceasefire with the Sudanese army after an initial agreement concluded with the Sudanese government during secret negotiations held in Chad. Sudan's liberation movement was established in August 2001 under the name of Dar Four liberation movement. It has been launching since February attacks against the Sudanese army in various areas of the almost desert areas of Dar Four. The rebels get logistic support from the main rebel movement in Sudan, the Sudan People's Liberation Army, which is deployed in various areas of southern Sudan.
