The Sudanese government Saturday asked the U.S. administration to send "a clear message" to rebel movements in the western Sudanese region of Darfur on necessity to make a new round of peace negotiations successful.
Sudanese Presidential Advisor Mustafa Osman Ismail delivered the demand to the U.S. side as receiving the American Presidential Envoy for Peace in Sudan Andrew Natsios.
Ismail told reporters following the meeting that he had "asked the U.S. administration to send a clear message to the Darfur rebel movements that the coming round of peace talks would be the last chance for returning Darfur to its normal status."
The Sudanese government and the Darfur rebel movements will hold in the Libyan capital Tripoli on October 27 their next round of peace negotiations, which have been deadlocked since a peace deal was signed between the government and one rebel faction.
Ismail said he also asked the American envoy to make more contacts with the Darfur rebels to ensure that the largest possible number of rebel factions would take part in the negotiations.
He noted that the internal, regional and international atmosphere was ready and encouraging for the success of the upcoming negotiations despite the fact that "some elements were trying to obstruct the peace efforts and foil the negotiations."
The delegation of the Sudanese government will go to the peace talks with open heart without any preconditions which is to give the various Darfur factions a chance to come up with the issues they want to be discussed and reviewed in the negotiations, the Sudanese official added.
The American envoy left Khartoum on Saturday, winding up a ten- day visit in Sudan, during which he paid a tour in southern Sudan and Darfur and held a series of meetings with Sudanese officials in Khartoum.
