Sudan Ends Long Civil War With Peace Accord
In Addis Ababa, President Jaafar Numairi's government and the South Sudan Liberation Movement agreed to a cease fire after 16 years of war that killed about half a million and displaced hundreds of thousands. The accord creates regional autonomy in South Sudan with a Juba-based legislature and executive, while Khartoum controls defense and foreign affairs. The deal precedes possible federation with Egypt, Libya, and Syria, with Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie and the World Council of Churches aiding mediation. A separate $7.55 million transit grant to PAT is announced in Harrisburg.
