MISTEREI, SUDAN- SEPTEMBER 08: Heavily armed rebel fighters from the Sudanese Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) smoke one of their 5 rationed cigarettes (per every several days) at their base in the Darfur region of Sudan 08 September, 2004. Both rebel groups, the JEM, and the Sudanese Liberation Movement (SLM) continue to abide by a current ceasefire and are participating in talks with the Sudanese government in neighboring Nigeria, but are growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of progress and warn of an impending resumption of military action if the situation in Darfur does not improve dramatically within the next weeks.
