From Times Wire Reports
Peace talks between the Sudanese government and Darfur rebels have been postponed until December, the spokesman for the government delegation said.
The talks opened Saturday in Sirte, Libya, without the most prominent rebel leaders. In their absence, the talks stalled within a day.
Mediators said they were sending envoys to try to get the other Darfur rebels to join the talks, which could take weeks.
Darfur’s main rebel chiefs said they were boycotting because mediators had invited lesser groups, which they said were government stooges.
