Originally published March 6, 2003

Holland will organize a conference for rebuilding Sudan on April 1st through 3rd, in the presence of international donors and representatives for the government of Khartoum and southern rebels.

The spokeswoman for the Dutch ministry of development Lucile Merck said that the World Bank and the IMF, the US and Britain will be taking part in the conference.

The spokeswoman added that despite the fact that a peace agreement is not reached, however, the donors believe it is better to organize this conference for rebuilding as a way to pressure the two sides to reach a result in the negotiations.

However, the peace talks are to be resumed between the Sudanese government and the rebels on March 19th in Nairobi.
