Darfur peace talks begin, Libyan agency says
SIRTE, Libya, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Sudan's government and some rebel groups began talks in Libya on Saturday to try to end 4-1/2 years of conflict in Darfur, the official Libyan news agency Jana reported.
U.N. and African Union officials have played down the prospect of a conclusive deal in the Libyan town of Sirte, saying they hoped for some solid progress by year-end. The absence of key rebels cast doubt on whether negotiations could produce any meaningful deal to end violence in the western Sudanese region.
