Sudanese MPs ratify rebel peace deal
With cries of God is Great, Sudanese MPs unanimously ratified the government’s peace agreement with the southern rebels today, formally sealing the end to Africa’s longest civil war.
When the speaker called the yes vote, all the MPs in the Khartoum parliament stood up to show their approval. They clapped and some shouted Allahu Akbar, the Islamic rallying cry meaning “God is Great”.
