ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) - Two years of peace talks culminated Friday with a Darfur peace treaty accepted by the government and the main rebel group. Some questions and answers about the process.
Q. What next?
A. Implementing the accord could prove difficult. Two smaller rebel groups have refused to sign and may keep fighting. Both the rebel and government sides, fighting for three years, have repeatedly failed to live up to agreements. A cease-fire signed in 2004 is in tatters. A robust U.N. peacekeeping force to replace thousands of African Union troops could help keep the peace. The Sudanese government had earlier refused to accept U.N. peacekeepers, but Friday indicated it would welcome such a force.
