AL chief welcomes framework peace deal between Sudanese gov't, rebels

February 22, 2010

Secretary General of the Arab League (AL) Amr Moussa welcomed on Sunday the framework peace deal signed by Sudanese government and rebels.

In statement obtained by Xinhua, Moussa dubbed the deal a "positive and constructive step towards reaching a settlement for Darfur crisis, especially when the general elections, due to be held in April, became so close."

Meanwhile, Moussa said the League is determined to continue development efforts that aim at securing all basic services needed by the people of Darfur. He said the AL is coordinating efforts with the government of Sudan in this regard.

Sudan's government and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) on Saturday signed a framework agreement in the Chadian capital of N'djamena, under the patronage of Chadian President Idriss Deby Itno.

The two sides are expected to officially sign a peace agreement on Tuesday in Doha, Qatar, in the presence of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and his Chadian counterpart Idriss Deby Itno.
