Urgent news: Peace deal reached in Darfur!

Wow. Pinch me.

There is breaking news out of Darfur indicating that the Sudanese government and Darfur rebels signed a peace agreement today to end three years of genocidal violence.

[Read story.]

I hope it's real. But the reports also indicate that (at least) two of the several rebel factions have refused to sign on to the deal. The implications of that remain to be seen.

But this is a step forward in any case, so let's think positive.
