Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has said the signing of the deal with rebel groups is the beginning of the road to peace.
He has dedicated the agreement to children who were born in camps after being forced from their homes and to their parents who “long for justice, development and safety”.
The comments come after Sudan’s transitional government signed a peace deal with five rebel groups.
After more than 17 years of conflict, there’s hope that peace will be restored in Sudan’s Darfur region and the southern States of South Kordofan and Blue Nile.
But previous peace agreements failed to hold, and two key rebel groups did not take part in the signing of the new deal.
