AU: Sudan agrees to halt military offensive in Darfur
The chief AU mediator said Wednesday that the Sudanese government agreed to stop its military offensive in the western region of Darfur, in a move that could make the two main rebel groups return to the AU suspended peace talks. "The government of Sudan has given an undertaking that it has agreed to stop the current military attack (in Darfur) and we have indicated to them that we shall try to verify that information so that we can resume the talks in the full session," Sam Ibok said. "If we verify the information and we find out that it is accurate, then it should pave the way for full discussion on the political issue," he said after his team met with Sudan's delegation at the talks.
