Sudan government wants to talk

Jaw jaw not war war

Sudan's government has urged the Sudanese People's Liberation Army -- with whom it has been fighting a bitter civil war for the last 18 years -- to put down arms and start talking.

The move comes in the wake of a reported SPLA victory in the western Bahr el Ghazal district, some 800 kilometres south-west of Khartoum on the border with the Central African Republic.

Sudan's deputy foreign minister Chuol Deng said at a press conference in Nairobi that "a ceasefire is a

necessity. Talking and fighting at the same time cannot take us to any good solution".

The SPLA and the government of Sudan held an unsuccessful peace conference over the weekend in Kenya, but vowed to keep talking.

Independent sources said that the SPLA's victory in Bahr el Ghazal came easily as pro-government peace forces defending the region switched sides.
