Sudanese rebels have reacted angrily to the decision to adjourn the peace talks in Kenya for three weeks. Mediators say the postponement until 17 February will allow Muslim negotiators like Vice-President Ali Osman Mohamed Taha to go on the Hajj pilgrimage. Sudan Peoples Liberation Army spokesman Samson Kwaje has told the BBC the adjournment is a delaying tactic by the government. Both parties have signed a deal on a 50-50 split of the country's wealth.
