The 2006 Darfur Peace Agreement, also known as the Abuja Agreement, was signed on May 5, 2006[1] by the government of Sudan headed by Omar al-Bashir along with a faction of the SLA led by Minni Minnawi. However, the agreement was rejected by two other, smaller groups, the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) and a rival faction of the SLA led by Abdul Wahid al Nur.[2][3]
