(PressTV) Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir has called on anti-government rebels to join peace talks in order to end the fighting in the country.
In a Thursday speech delivered to a gathering at North Darfur state, al-Bashir said, "We have promised to achieve peace, and we call on our brothers who are carrying arms to put down their weapons and make efforts to achieve peace, development and stability."
The president made the plea for peace to local tribesmen in the town of al-Fashir in the troubled regions of western Sudan, local media reported.
Sudan has been suffering from internal conflicts between western rebels and government forces over the past several years.
Al-Bashir, who was speaking at a national school tournament, pointed to the upcoming presidential election in April and said, "We want to organize free, credible and comprehensive elections, and it is important that all the people of Darfur participate in general elections."
"We want the Darfurians to choose their representatives to the legislative councils and the governor for their region and to elect the president of the Republic upon their free will," al-Bashir added.
"We want the coming elections to be a Sudanese model for the world in peaceful transition of power," he concluded.
