Reuters: S.Sudan arrests, beats 7 opposition members-SPLM-DC. South Sudanese authorities arrested and beat seven members of the only party running a candidate against the region's president in April, a senior party member said on Monday. "They arrested nine people, including two journalists, and beat them up," said Charles Kisanga, the Sudan People's Liberation Movement for Democratic Change (SPLM-DC) Secretary General, adding that they were released after 90 minutes.

AFP: Sudan chief negotiator says JEM 'not serious' about peace. Sudan's chief peace negotiator said on Sunday that a main Darfur rebel group, Justice and Equality Movement, was "not serious" about reaching a final settlement with the government. "We have committed to finalising an agreement between now and April 5," Amin Hassan Omar told reporters in Khartoum. "But JEM is not serious about reaching a peace agreement," he said, accusing the group of violating the ceasefire and failing to free prisoners despite a pledge to do so.

AFP: Darfur rebels threaten return to arms. Darfur's main rebel group, the Justice and Equality Movement, warned on Monday its forces would return to an armed struggle if talks with the Sudanese government hit a dead end. "We are still negotiating, and if the government is serious about wanting to achieve peace, then we are ready," JEM leader Khalil Ibrahim told reporters in the Qatari capital Doha. "But if peace is not reached, our position is known, and our aim is to change the regime of (Sudanese President Omar) al-Beshir. It is either a fair and comprehensive peace or we carry on with our regime change project," he added.
