After years of bloodshed, the country’s transitional government reached an agreement with most but not all of the groups fighting in Darfur and elsewhere.NAIROBI, Kenya — Hoping to put an end to nearly two decades of bloodshed that has left hundreds of thousands dead and millions more displaced, the transitional government of Sudan signed a peace agreement with an alliance of rebel groups on Monday to end fighting in Darfur and the southern regions of South Kordofan and the Blue Nile.It was the first major breakthrough in a peace process that started soon after the ouster of Omar Hassan al-Bashir, the longtime Sudanese dictator accused of atrocities in Darfur that earned him an indictment on genocide charges in an international court.After Mr. al-Bashir was ousted in April 2019, a joint military-civilian government promised to bring both democracy and peace. “Being in America made everything possible to me … I want to use the opportunities given to me to speak up for those whose voices cannot be heard.”Abdallah-Hassan raises awareness of Najwa Foundation from Lansing.
