Khartoum says “no military solution” to civil war

    NAIROBI

    The government has agreed with a visiting South African delegation that peace in southern Sudan depends on the IGAD (Inter-Governmental Authority on Development) process and a complementary Egyptian/Libyan initiative, and that “there was no military solution to the problem.” The South Africans, led by Deputy Foreign Minister Aziz Pahad, met Foreign Minister Mustafa Osman Ismail and Speaker of the Sudanese Assembly Hassan Al-Turabi among other senior officials during a four-day visit to discuss the economic and political situations in South Africa and Sudan, and to consolidate relations between the two, according to a joint statement reported by the South African Press Agency on Wednesday.
