South Sudan Offers to Mediate Sudan Conflict

Mangu Gale

   KHARTOUM - South Sudan's government is offering to mediate between
   Sudan's ruling military council and the opposition, in return for
   Sudan's role mediating South Sudanese peace talks last year.

   A minister in President Salva Kiir's office says the president is
   concerned about the situation in Sudan and is urging the two sides to
   form a transitional government soon.

   South Sudan presidential minister Mayiik Deng was part of a four-person
   delegation led by Kiir's security adviser, Tut Galuak, that wrapped a
   two-day visit to Khartoum on Friday.

   Deng said the delegation delivered a message of peace to Sudan's
   leaders and urged them to find an amicable way to end the stalemate
   between opposition parties and the Transitional Military Council.
