Sudanese security officials arrested 15 Darfur rebels weeks after the country's president pardoned and freed them, their lawyer said on Wednesday, amid signs that a peace deal with their insurgent force was faltering. JEM has since threatened to pull out of further peace talks hosted in the Qatari capital Doha in protest at Khartoum's plans to sign a similar accord with another insurgent grouping.

The Sudanese government is to sign a deal with a small Darfur rebel group, the Liberation and Justice Movement (LJM), this week as talks with the larger Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) falter, a minister said. The deal with the LJM -- an alliance of splinter rebel factions formed last month -- comes after a deadline set for the completion of peace negotiations between Khartoum and the JEM passed without agreement on Monday.
