The Sudanese government and the United Nations have reached a deal on granting humanitarian workers access to Darfur. Sudan says it will give out speedier visas.

Manuel Aranda da Silva, the U.N.’s top humanitarian official in Sudan: “Making these issues very specific, that is the difference between this agreement and previous agreements. It’s very specific, there’s no vague language. I can give example: On visas, we say 48 hours we issue visas, stop, all over.”
