Sudan Government, Rebels Launch Talks

Rebels from ethnic African tribes in Darfur - a region the size of France - took up arms in February 2003, complaining of oppression by Sudan's Arab-dominated government.

African Union mediators expressed hope the government and rebels could make a deal at this new round of talks - the sixth so far. Earlier peace efforts have broken down with cease-fires repeatedly violated.

I don't see how this conflict can end any time soon given the background.
