Unmade for each other

Indeed all privately doubt that any of this is for real

The Presidents of Sudan and Chad have agreed to cease Sudanhostilities “in principle”. Yes only in principle: for hardly had the words been uttered than the rebels, whom the pact officially aims to subdue, dismissed it as “meaningless”.

This of course is not the first time that Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir and his Chadian counterpart Idriss Deby have “agreed” to cease warring – a war complicated by rebels of various stripes in the territories of both. (In Sudan they allege the country’s western part has been deliberately neglected to favour the Muslim North.) Under the latest non-aggression pact a monitoring group, comprising foreign ministers from both countries, will “ensure” that no more blood is shed.
