Ghazi Salah Eddin Attabani, Sudanese President Omar el-Bashir's peace adviser, and Samson Kwaje, spokesman for the rebel Sudanese People's Liberation Army, said they have reached agreement on the separation of state and religion as well as self-determination for the southern Sudanese. Both men said the remaining issues would be relatively easy to resolve when the parties meet again next month. Attabani said that the unity of the country was the priority, but he added that the government would allow an internationally monitored referendum in the south following a six-year interim period to let the people decide whether they want to be part of Sudan. The interim period would begin once a final peace deal is signed, he said. Kwaje said "the most critical issues have been solved," including the government's attempts to impose Islamic law, known as sharia, on southerners who mostly follow other religions. The Sudanese constitution would be rewritten to ensure that sharia law can be used in the north, but would not infringe on the rights of non-Muslims in the south. Both men said the talks next month, which will again be held in Kenya, would focus on integrating the rebel leaders into the national government, sharing the country's oil wealth, ensuring security and organising a cease fire. Kenyan President Daniel arap Moi, who hosted this round of peace talks in the Kenyan town of Machakos, 45 kilometres (30 miles) southeast of Nairobi, called the agreement historic and urged the delegates to reach a final agreement before he retires later this year. Moi has led the regional efforts to mediate a peace agreement for ten years. Sudan's civil war broke out in 1983 when the rebels in the south took up arms against the predominantly Arab and Muslim government in the north, in an attempt to obtain greater autonomy for the south where most people follow traditional beliefs and Christianity. As many as 2 (m) million people are estimated to have been killed during the conflict, mainly due to war-induced drought, and another 4 (m) million have been forced to flee their homes.
