As World Rallies For Darfur, Leaders Meet In Libya To Discuss Darfur

by Drima on April 29, 2007

I hope this conference brings good results:

Hosted by Gaddafi’s Africa minister, the meeting brings together Sudan’s foreign minister, special Darfur envoys from the United Nations, African Union, United States, European Union and Britain, and senior officials or ministers from France, Canada, Egypt, Norway, Russia, Chad and Eritrea, diplomats said.

The heat is on and I believe there is genuine concern. One of the things that can really complicate this is the fact that during the last year or so, rebel factions have continued to split up into various sub factions, each with their own and sometimes conflicting agendas. The rebels need to reach a common goal. Fingers crossed.

A good development, though the shadow of Ghaddafi troubles me. You are correct about the rebels, though. No united front at the table means no real negotiations.

Because truly, the natural place to have serious talks about anything, really, is Ghaddafi’s Libya …

Did anything actually come of this, Drima?

No real news popping out anywhere so far

How surprising.
