EL FASHER, Sudan, April 8 — The Sudanese government and two rebel groups agreed Thursday to a 45-day cease-fire and to allow relief groups access to war-torn Darfur Province.
Foreign Minister Mustafa Osman Ismail said the three sides also agreed at a meeting in Chad to hold more talks in two weeks on the conflict, which has displaced hundreds of thousands of people in Darfur, a region in western Sudan along the Chad border.

Secretary General Kofi Annan of the United Nations said Wednesday that international military intervention might be needed to stop the conflict.
