 Sudanese dialogue to begin 'soon' to enable reconciliation, elections: PM


Sudan's Prime Minister Kamil Idris said on Sunday that a Sudanese dialogue will begin “soon” to pave the way for national recovery, comprehensive reconciliation, and free elections.

Idris said the Sudanese army was advancing on the ground in the Kordofan region and would later head towards Darfur “until the entire country is liberated.”
