Mubarak, Obasanjo, Bashir, Qathafi and Dibi to discuss position in Darfur on May 15-16

Sharm el-Sheikh city will host on May 15-16 a summit meeting grouping President Hosni Mubarak, Libyan Leader Muammar al-Qathafi, Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir and Chadian President Idriss Dibi on the crisis of Sudan's troubled western region of Darfur.

The summit will tackle repercussions of UN Security Council (UNSC) resolution 1593 on Darfur and bringing to justice those responsible for committing crimes in the region.

The summit talks will also address means of containing the situation in the region and making use of Naivasha agreement on peace between the south and the north of Sudan in drafting a political formula for an agreement between the Sudanese government and the rebel movement in Darfur province.

It will also address settling the humanitarian crisis in the province, especially as regards the Sudanese refugees who fled to Chad.

Sudan has renewed its resolve to try those charged with committing such crimes before Sudanese courts and to hold fair and just trials for all suspects.

Sudan also reiterated its acceptance of the international legitimacy resolutions. Sharm el-Sheikh summit on Darfur acquires a special importance in light of the failure of the fourth round of negotiations held recently between the Sudanese government and the rebels in the Nigerian capital Abuja.
