The Sudanese government says its troops have defeated an attempt by rebels from Darfur to capture the capital Khartoum. The Sudanese government said an earlier assault on the city of Omdurman, near Khartoum, by the Justice and Equality Movement or JEM has been repulsed. This was denied by the rebels. A spokesman for the Sudanese government, Doctor Khalid al-Mubarak told the BBC that JEM did not pose a real threat to the capital city.
This also may be a message to the international community before the forthcoming allowance of negotiations to say give us smaller weight. But the bottom line is that it was an adventure. And it has failed miserably.
The Hezbollah Movement in Lebanon has agreed to withdraw its gunmen from the capital Beirut, after the army overturned government measures aimed at curbing the group. Hezbollah and its allies have violently seized most of western Beirut during four days of clashes, which killed at least 37 people. The violence was sparked by anger at the western-backed government. The leader of Lebanese Druze community Walid Jumblatt said he hoped the crisis was now over.
We don't want the Hezbollah to feel that we are conspiring against him with the Israelis or somebody else. We were not during the summer of 2006 conspiring against Hezbollah and we will not again conspire or let them think that we are conspiring. Let me be very precise.
The Iraqi government has agreed a ceasefire with supporters of the radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr in Baghdad. It could end weeks of fighting that's led to hundreds of deaths in Sadr City, in the east of the capital. The truce is expected to begin on Sunday. Clive Myrie reports from Baghdad.
The Iraqi government says Moqtada al-Sadr has agreed that his men will stop displaying their arms in public and lay down their weapons. But the deal also gives powers to the security forces to raid and search any building, where medium and heavy weapons may be stored. The Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki had always said he wanted to completely disarm the Shiite militias. But the ceasefire deal may reflect the fact that he's just launched a big campaign in the northern city of Mosul to hunt down members of Al-Qaeda, and the battles on multiple fronts may be too difficult.

World News from the BBC in London.
The military government in Burma has held a referendum on a new constitution, which the opposition warns will enshrine army dominance. At the same time, there has been more alarm at the speed of the military's response to last week's cyclone. Lyse Doucet reports from neighboring Thailand.
A patriotic duty, that is the message on Burma's state media, urging Burmese to vote in the constitutional referendum. Critics call it a sham to legitimize the rule of generals who've been in power for nearly fifty years. Shocking is what others say that the government could direct resources to this exercise in the mist of a major humanitarian disaster, a crisis the international community says Burma is not equipped to handle on its own.
