 ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) - Breakaway factions from two rebel groups that rejected last month's peace accord for Sudan's violence-riven Darfur region signed declarations Thursday committing themselves to the pact.
The main faction of the rebel Sudan Liberation Movement originally signed the May 5 accord with Sudan's government, but a splinter faction held out until Thursday, along with a faction of the Justice and Equality Movement.
"We shall be bound by the letter and spirit of the (Darfur Peace Accord) and shall assume and implement the relevant obligations... especially those related to the comprehensive cease-fire agreement," the groups said in their declaration.
