Thabo Mbeki, former president of South Africa and chief mediator of the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel (AUHIP) for Sudan, met with several officials in Khartoum where they discuses resumption of peace talks between the government and armed oppositions groups.
During his visit, the AUHIP envoy met with President Omar Al-Bashir, Presidential Assistant Ibrahim Mahmoud Hamid, and Amin Hassan Omar who is in charge of the Darfur dossier to discuss the peace process in the Two Areas and Darfur.
Multiple sources said that Mbeki is likely to meet with several prominent leaders of the Sudan Appeal group inside the country on the National Dialogue which was rejected by many opposition parties.
