MARGARET WARNER: The ink is barely dry on the Darfur peace deal. And in Khartoum today, the Sudanese government was coming under pressure to help make the agreement a success and preserve lives in the meantime.Jan Egeland, the U.N. undersecretary general who yesterday wrapped up a two-day visit to south Darfur, was today in the Sudanese capital hoping to make headway in talks with government leaders and acknowledging that much hard work lies ahead. JAN EGELAND, U.N. Humanitarian Chief: This is the only agreement that we have, and we need to embrace it, and we need to realize this agreement.It will take time, and that's why I say this is the moment of truth. This is the critical phase; this is when we either turn towards something better or something worse.The next few weeks will be fateful. I do foresee a lot of tension, a lot of problems, a lot of uphill now, for all of us, but I think we're heading towards something better. To continue like now is really a disaster scenario.
