SOMALIAGovernment, militia reach deal Somalia's government and an Islamic militia that has seized control of much of southern Somalia signed an agreement Sept. 4 to eventually form a unified national army. The deal, which came after two days of peace talks in Sudan, did not specify when the agreement would take effect. "The Islamic courts have met the expectations of our people," said Abdullahi Sheik Ismail, one of several deputy prime ministers in the government. Both sides also agreed to form a peace committee to determine how to implement the plan.
