Cairo - The Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), a key rebel group in Darfur, said on Wednesday a ceasefire announced by the Sudanese government was not serious.

Suleiman Sandal, the deputy general commander of the group, said JEM would not stop fighting government forces in the region until a "framework deal that would guarantee the movement's rights is reached".

"We cannot cease fire for free," he said.
