Sudan President Set Date for Darfur Talks

General Ban Ki-moon went on a one week tour of Sudan trying to get the rebel groups to join the peace talks in Libya that have been set.

Already more than 200,000 people are dead and 2.5 million have been uprooted from their homes, and without a political solution more will continue to die and be left without homes.

There have been several meetings in the past to try and get the rebel groups to sit down and to help decided on a solution but they never come.

The U.N. hopes to quickly deploy the new AU-U.N. peacekeeping force in Sudan.

For its part, the Sudanese government pledged to "prepare for and participate constructively in renewed negotiations on Darfur" to be held under U.N. and African Union mediation, said Ban and al-Bashir's joint note.
