From CNN Custom News - "Peace Deal Closing, Say Sierra Leone Rebels Xinhua 26-JUN-99 LAGOS, June 26 (Xinhua) - Sierra Leone's rebel leader Foday Sankoh said Saturday that he and Kabbah's government are closing to a deal in a marathon peace talks in Lome, Togo. Sankoh said that "I think we have come to the end of the negotiations, it is just a matter of getting a mandate from my people, that is the People' s War Council, the High Command of the combatants," he said. "Then I think we'll come to a final conclusion," according to local radio reporting. The visiting Nigerian President Olusegan Obasanjo and his host, Togo's President Gnassingbe Eyadema, met both sides of the talks on Friday in Togo and released a joint statement early Saturday urging the two sides to make "a final effort for peace and reconciliation." The rebel United Revolutionary Front's (URF) refused Wednesday an offer from President Tejan Kabbah of three cabinet posts in return for peace, deeply dampening hopes of the international mediators. But the rebels latter seemed satisfied for a Sierra Leone government's enhanced offer of four cabinet posts and four lower-tier posts. Obasanjo, in a short visit to Sierra Leone Friday pledged that Nigerian troops, who constitute the bulk of the West African Peace Keeping Force or ECOMOG would stay in this war-torn country in an apparent gesture of beefing up the Sierra leone government's stands. The rebels' power-sharing demand had been a major hurdle in the peace talks held in Lome, Togo between Sierra Leone government and RUFT rebels. The RUF has been demanding certain key positions in a new transitional government but Sierra Leone government had formerly insisted that the rebels must transform themselves into a unarmed political party and participate in next election. The rebels has been waging war against successive governments in Sierra Leone, since 1991. International community managed a hard-earn cease-fire on May 24 to usher out the much desired peace talks in Lome. Since negotiations began, the two sides have agreed in principle on the release of Sankoh, the jailed RUF leader who was sentenced to death last October on treason charges. Both sides have also agreed on the release of prisoners of war, and to allow humanitarian relief to be distributed in their areas of control. Apart from the power-sharing, the thorny issue of the future role of the Nigerian-led ECOMOG intervention still remains to be sorted out. The ECOMOG force has been defending the government against rebel insurgents." Another [recycled from a few days ago, i think] - cnn.com .. from - cnn.com
