Sudan govt accepts invitation to talks with rebels
The Sudanese government said Wednesday it had accepted an invitation from the African Union to attend peace talks with the rebel Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North in Addis Ababa next month.
The SPLM-N has been battling Khartoum’s forces in the southern Blue Nile and South Kordofan states since 2011, and did not immediately say whether they would attend.
“The Sudanese government received an invitation to a new round of negotiations about the two areas with the SPLM-N on November 2 in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, and the invitation was to both sides,” said Hussein Kershoum, a member of the government’s delegation for negotiations.
