He pointed out that Mbeki reiterated his support for the national dialogue that will be owned by Sudanese in order to resolve their country’s problems.
“The government is committed to hold an inclusive process without excluding any party,” he said. “We informed the mediator that the dialogue is a popular demand by all Sudanese people.”
