SUDAN TIMES (KHARTOUM)— A Sudanese high level delegation will visit London by the end of the month to hold talks with the British officials over Darfur peace process. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said on April 12 he was in contact with the Sudanese government and rebel groups to host peace talks to end the five year crisis in Darfur. The Sudanese Foreign minister Deng Alor flanked by the presidential advisor Mustfa Osman Ismail will pay a visit to the British capital carrying a written message from President Omar Bashir, the British Prime Minister Cordon Brown. The two-day visit will take place on 29-30 April. Source: http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?article26818 (Reliability: 7.5)
Analysis: It is highly likely that the opposing rebel groups responsible for the humanitarian crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan will not recognize any agreements that come out of a Darfur Conference in the United Kingdom. According to the Sudan Times, some rebel groups have already ignored Britain's offer. The rebel reaction to a conference not involving the rebel groups will likely mirror that of the Dakar Agreement signed by the Presidents of Chad and Sudan on 13 March 2008. (Analytic Confidence: 8)
