October 8, 2009 (TRIPOLI) — Libya and the United States agreed to continue coordination in their efforts to bring peace in western Sudan troubled region of Darfur.
The US envoy for Sudan Scott Gration discussed Thursday in Tripoli where he arrived from Moscow with the Libyan foreign minister Moussa Kusa the ongoing efforts to reunite Darfur rebels.
Libya succeeded last August to convince five rebel factions from the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) to gather in one rebel movement called Sudan’s Liberation Revolutionary Forces (SLRF).
Gration for his part, sponsors a reunification process for dissident faction from the SLM and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) who are expected to hold their unity meetings in the upcoming weeks.
Gration and Kusa also tackled the relations between Sudan and Chad and agreed to encourage the two countries to end the current tension in bilateral relations. Khartoum and Ndjamena trade accusations of supporting respective rebel groups.
The US envoy said Libya understands deeply what is happening in the region and enjoys prestige and respect among the parties to the conflict in Darfur.
He stressed the importance of continued efforts and initiatives of the Libyan officials with all parties to bring a final peace in the region.
Gration arrived in Tripoli earlier on Thursday from the Russian capital Moscow after attending a consultative meeting on Darfur, attended by a number of officials from five permanent members of the UN Security Council and the European Union.
