 KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged Sudanese on Monday to seize the "historic opportunity" of a new peacekeeping force in Darfur to start a conclusive round of peace talks to end the conflict.
Sudan's foreign minister responded positively, saying "making peace is a priority."
At the start of his first trip to Sudan since taking the reins of the United Nations in January, Ban said the international community had stood by for too long "as seemingly helpless witness to this tragedy."
