    NAIROBI

    Sudanese Foreign Minister Mustafa Uthman Isma’il held talks at the weekend in neighbouring Eritrea with the leader of the opposition Ummah Party, Al-Sadiq al-Mahdi, on the sidelines of the Sahel-Saharan Executive Council meeting, state television reported on Monday. In a statement, Mahdi said: “I thank brother Dr Mustafa Uthman Isma’il for visiting me when he came to Asmara to attend the Sahel-Saharan meeting. We discussed mutual concerns and ways of supporting the efforts to find a political settlement in Sudan, which we hope, will bring about a just peace, stop the killing and achieve democratic transformation through political means.”
