Talks between Uganda and Sudan that began on 19 January under the auspices of the Carter Center were scheduled to end on Friday. Delegates are discussing the implementation of a peace agreement signed last year by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and his Sudanese counterpart Omar Bashir. Dr Joyce Neu, a senior Associate Director at the Carter Center, told IRIN that both delegations were still in session on Friday morning, and a joint statement was expected by the end of the day. The talks are divided into three joint committees on political, security and humanitarian affairs. The Uganda delegation to the talks is headed by Dr Ruhakana Rugunda, Minister in charge of the Presidency, and the Sudan delegation by Ali Abd al-Rahman Numayri, State Minister for External Relations.
