 ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) - A rebel group battling in Sudan's troubled Darfur region said Friday it refused to sign a peace plan, possibly jeopardizing an accord aimed at resolving a crisis that has cost at least 180,000 lives.
Ahmed Tugod, chief negotiator for the small Justice and Equality Movement, told The Associated Press that the main sticking point was his rebels' demand for the post of second vice president.
"We decided not to sign it unless changes are made," he said as talks dragged on for more than four hours past a midnight deadline to arrive at an accord.
