| 2009-08-23 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] The United States on Saturday pledged to help the myriad rebel groups in the strife-torn Sudanese region of Darfur to unite after four groups agreed to join forces in the Ethiopian capital. Three factions that broke away from the Sudan Liberation Army led by Paris-based Abdelwahid Mohammed Nur and a fourth group, the United Resistance Front announced the deal on Saturday following mediation by U.S. envoy Scott Gration. "I can tell you that we are behind this reunification effort. We will do what it takes to make it successful," Gration said. "I look forward to working with all of these leaders in the future as we bring together the rebel movements that we have here today and those that are yet to be unified," he added. |
