N’Djamena, 29 June-(ANA)-The US envoy for Sudan, Scott Gration, is due to meet Darfur rebel leaders in neighbouring Chad in a bid to revive the stalled peace process.
Mr Gration is hoping to talk to officials from two rebel groups - the SLA and Jem - as well as Chad's President Idriss Deby.
Chad and Sudan accuse each other of backing rebel groups which operate across their troubled border.
Some 300,000 people have died in the six-year conflict, the UN says.
Leaders of Abdul Wahid's faction of the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) are also in Chad for the talks.
Diplomatic sources say that the US envoy is hoping for a sign of the rebels' willingness to agree to a cessation of hostilities and to become more of a political force. (ANA)
