 KHARTHOUM, Sudan (AP) - A White House special envoy reported progress in a meeting with Sudan's president Wednesday, saying the two agreed on certain steps to improve the situation in Darfur.
Andrew Natsios met President Omar al-Bashir at the end of a four-day visit to push Sudan to accept some measure of U.N. intervention in the western region where more than 200,000 have died in almost four years of conflict. Al-Bashir had refused to meet with Natsios during a previous trip in October.
"We agreed to disagree on the history (of the violence) but we have agreed to there are some steps we can take in the next weeks to make some progress," Natsios told reporters after the two-hour meeting, which he described as "constructive."
