Re: BBC news - ceasefire in South Sudan!
From pan's link above.....
A Wedding Present !
South Sudan's President Salva Kiir and rebel leader Riek Machar have agreed a peace deal after a five-month conflict.
The deal calls for an immediate truce and the formation of a transitional government ahead of the drafting of a new constitution and new elections.
The conflict in the world's newest state has left thousands dead and more than one million homeless.
The UN has accused both sides of crimes against humanity, including mass killings and gang-rape.
The rivals signed the deal in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa late on Friday, after their first face-to-face meeting since the hostilities began.
The BBC's Emmanuel Igunza in Addis Ababa says the agreement calls for a cessation of hostilities within 24 hours of the signing. A permanent ceasefire will then be worked on.
Mr Kiir and Mr Machar are to issue immediate orders for troops to end combat and to allow in humanitarian aid.
It was not immediately clear who would form the transitional administration.
Leading mediator Seyoum Mesfin, from the regional Igad bloc, congratulated the pair for "ending the war".
