President Museveni has facilitated informal meetings in Kampala and
Addis Ababa between the Sudanese government, the Sudan Liberation
Movement-Minni Minnawi (SLM-MM) and Justice and Equality Movement
(JEM) leaders.
The Ugandan President who is now a close friend to President Omer
al-Bashir attended the National Dialogue Congress in Khartoum last
October and launched a call for the armed groups to join the internal
process.
In a statement released on Sunday, the SLM-MM and JEM said their
leaders Minni Minnawi and Gibril Ibrahim respectively met with
President Museveni on Saturday 24 morning "to discuss ways to
re-energize his initiative to support the peace process in Sudan".
In their meeting with President Museveni, the two leaders stressed
that "it is difficult to join the negotiating table while the regime
continues to arrest opposition leaders, political and civil society
activists simply because they opposed the recent economic measures and
policies," said a statement extended to Sudan Tribune.
The implementation of the African Union Roadmap Agreement is the way
to way to reinvigorate the peace process and achieve a comprehensive
political settlement, Minnawi and Gibril stressed.
They further urged him to intervene to ensure the release of the
detained opposition leaders.
The opposition Sudan Call leaders including JEM and SLM-MM signed last
August a road map brokered by the African Union High Level
Implementation Panel (AUHIP) providing to sign a humanitarian truce
and hold a preparatory meeting before to join the internal dialogue
process.
Following the failure of the parties to reach the needed agreements
for the humanitarian cessation of hostilities, the government endorsed
the outcome of its dialogue process and called on the opposition to
join it.
The holdout groups, on their part, call on the government to consider
this internal process as a first phase for the inclusive dialogue
process with all the opposition forces.

M7 is bored after 30yrs in power. Trying to play the smart African
resolving regional conflicts when his own house is disorderly and his
neighbors is burning. If he can’t help his immediate next-door
neighbor how can he help the other neighbor two or three doorsteps
away? The real African "n****r".Sorry.

Wars along the Nile basin won’t end soon. The greatest possibly
one that will usher in peace would be one that units all countries on
the Nile basin against Egypt....

Anyone who wants to fight Egypt can take his tribe and start
the war with Egypt. Sitting under computer and try to promote problems
in the region will not be accepted. Google this year will adopt a
system where people must have finger prints before they use it. This
will hunt down hate speeches internet users.
