Mogadishu, Somalia ? Somalia’s weak government and an Islamic militia that controls much of the south signed an agreement late Monday to eventually form a unified national army, officials said.

The accord, which came after two days of peace talks in Sudan, did not specify when it would go into effect. Talks were to resume Oct. 30 in Khartoum.

Both sides also agreed to form a peace committee in order to determine how to implement the plan.

“We are pleased we came to this agreement within two days,” said Ibrahim Hassan Adow, who signed on behalf of the Islamic militia.

The militia agreed it won’t take any more territory and instead wait for the Oct. 30 talks. Both sides also agreed to stop the use of propaganda against each other.
