    NAIROBI

    Libyan leader Muammar Gadaffi is to attempt to reconcile Sudanese government and opposition groups at a peace conference planned for later this month, according to Sudanese media reports cited by Associated Press on Saturday. Gadaffi met separately with first vice-president, Ali Osman Mohamed Taha, and the chairman of the NDA, Mohamed Osman al-Mirghani, last month as part of his mediation efforts. Gadaffi is personally supervising the conference and has also invited Umma Party leader Sadiq al-Mahdi to attend the peace conference, AP quoted Idris al-Bana, head of the pro-Libyan People’s Congress, as saying.
