Sudan reiterated its unconditional acceptance of an Egyptian-Libyan peace plan aimed at helping realize national reconciliation in the conflict country on November 10.

Sudanese Ambassador to Egypt Ahmad Abdel Halim told reporters that his government "has fully accepted all the articles included in the Egyptian-Libyan peace initiative."

The Sudanese government is ready to sit down to talks with the opposition without any conditions, Abdel Halim said.

Egypt and Libya proposed in August the five-point initiative calling for permanent cease-fire in Sudan and convocation of a meeting of the preparatory committee for a peace conference to be attended by all related parties.

Abdel Halim said the Sudanese government has formed the delegation to the preparatory committee's meeting to discuss the agenda of the peace conference and possibility of achieving reconciliation.

The Sudanese government hopes that the opposition National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will, during its meeting in Kampala, Uganda, on November 22, be able to appoint its representatives to the committee's meeting, he added.

NDA groups northern Muslim political parties, which want to share power with Sudan's Islamic government, and the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA), which has fought a 16-year-old war for greater autonomy for the mostly Christian south.

The Muslim parties have accepted the Egyptian-Libyan peace plan while SPLA has rejected it, saying it favors the role played by the Eastern African Inter-Governmental Authority on Development in mediating between it and the Sudanese government. The opposition group is expected to adopt a final decision on the initiative during its Kampala meeting.
