Sudan may make concessions to save Darfur peace talks

Sudan appeared ready today to agree to disarm Arab militias in Darfur and to accept more rebels into its security forces, key concessions that could clear the way for real progress at the Darfur peace talks.

Sudanese government spokesman Abdulrahman Zuma said his government was considering the concessions included in a revised peace agreement drafted with the help of top US and British diplomats who intervened a day earlier after rebels rejected an initial, African Union-drafted document.
