Sudan: Ex-rebels form political party

(SomaliNet) Deputy Chairperson of the Eastern Front rebels, Amna Dirar said former rebels operating in eastern Sudan have formed a political party under a peace deal signed with Khartoum last year.

Meanwhile, a government-backed bill to guarantee 50 out of 222 seats for women in the Kenyan parliament in general elections next year has flopped because there was no quorum after opponents of the constitutional amendment bill stormed out.
