Almotamar.net, Google News - DAKAR (AFP) — The presidents of Chad and Sudan on Thursday held a meeting in the presence of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in a bid to seal a peace accord, sources close to mediators said. Before the meeting between presidents Omar al-Beshir of Sudan and Idriss Deby of Chad, Sudan's deputy foreign minister described as "complete nonsense" accusations by Chad that a rebel force based inside Sudan had crossed the border to launch an offensive.
Beshir failed to turn up for a previous peace meeting organised by Senegal's President Abdoulaye Wade in Dakar on Wednesday night. Wade hopes the two rivals, who accuse each other of plotting against their governments, will sign a peace deal.
Wade said Beshir had missed Wednesday's meeting because of a headache.
The latest attempt to reconcile the two was held in a break during the first day of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference summit in Dakar.
The Chad government earlier accused Sudan of letting heavily armed Chad rebels cross the border. But this has been denied by Chadian rebels and the EU peacekeeping force in Chad said it had seen no sign of new military movements.
Sudan's deputy foreign minister Al-Sammani al-Sheikh al-Wassila told reporters: "I can assure you this is complete nonsense.
"We have closed our borders completely," he added. "We have no opposition troops inside Sudan. We refuse any soldier or fighter to enter Sudan."
According to the Sudanese minister, "There is an internal problem inside Chad and that's what the Chad government should seriously think about."
New Chad-Sudan peace meeting starts in Dakar
In 2007 the opposition Yemen Congregation for Reform (Islah) Islamic oriented Party maintained its having political and media sway over the Joint meeting Parties (JMP) block, also consisting of Yemen Socialist Party and the Nasserite Unionist Organisation. 
Yemen is practically a cool green paradise, with crisp mountain air, enormous acacia trees, pristine coral reefs and verdant fields bursting with khat, a psychoactive plant that induces mild euphoria. 
Sana'a: Yemen will not be able to combat terror without regional and international cooperation, said a Yemeni official, who warned of the ramifications of letting Yemen fight terrorism alone.
Many journalists covered the funeral of the murdered Minister, Pierre Gemayel, the latest victim in a string of political assassinations in Lebanon.
Doctors use the word “crisis” to describe the point at which a patient either starts to recover or dies. President George W. Bush’s Iraqi patient now seems to have reached that point. Most commentators appear to think that Bush’s latest prescription – a surge of 20,000 additional troops to suppress the militias in Baghdad – will, at best, merely postpone the inevitable death of his dream of a democratic Iraq. Yet as “Battle of Baghdad” begins, factors beyond Bush’s control and not of his making (at least not intentionally) may just save Iraq from its doom.
