President Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday opened the peace talks on the Dafur crisis which he convened in Abuja with a charge to the participants to work out a fast solution.

Obasanjo also declared that the international community is waiting to see the outcome of the Abuja peace talks and end to the crisis plaguing the region which has now become the problem child of the world. He said the 3,000 protective force of the African Union (AU) in Sudan "is to complement the Sudanese security.

"Let me say this: The AU forces is not a peace-keeping force in the true sense of it. It cannot replace the Sudanese security", he added.

While formally welcoming the Government of Sudan and the contending groups comprising the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) and the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) to the peace talks, Obasanjo said the groups must reach amicable solution to the crisis in that country.
