Sudanese rebels say the latest round of peace negotiations with the government ended without any progress towards achieving peace. A spokesman for the Sudan People's Liberation Army stated on Saturday that the talks, which were taking place in Nakuru, Kenya, were halted after government representatives rejected the draft proposal for a final agreement. The Sudanese government, in a statement, deemed the proposal unbalanced and unsustainable, yet affirmed its commitment to the peace process. Officials stated that negotiations would resume on July 23. Rebels and the government have been engaged in a series of peace talks for over a year in an effort to end a 20-year civil war.
