Sudan`s President Omar al-Bashir and leaders of Chad, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, Eritrea and Qatar attended the signing of the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur, an accord which follows talks sponsored by the African Union, United Nations and Arab League.
The Liberation and Justice Movement is an alliance of rebel splinter factions.
However, the main armed groups in Darfur -- the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), and factions of the Sudan Liberation Army headed by Minni Minnawi and Abdelwahid Nur -- were absent and did not sign the agreement.
"This is not a peace agreement. It is just a `jobs` agreements, offering diplomatic positions for those who sign it, and failing to solve the real problems in Darfur," JEM spokesman Gibril Adam told AFP after the signing.
Adam said the fundamental issues of human rights violations, power and wealth sharing, holding criminals to account and compensating the displaced had not been properly addressed. (M014/K004)
