Sudan and Chad on Wednesday expressed their concerns over the situations in Libya, South Sudan, Central Africa Republic and Nigeria, as well as the conflict in Sudan's Darfur region.

Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and his Chadian counterpart Idriss Deby voiced these concerns in their talks in Khartoum.

President al-Bashir told reporters after the talks that the entire region is troubled by security problems that are also affecting Sudan and Chadtold.

He also appreciated the efforts that are being made by Chad to achieve peace in Darfur, as well as the role President Deby plays in helping resolve the conflict there.

For his part, President Deby reiterated his country's keenness to find a peaceful settlement for the armed conflict in Darfur, stressing that dialogues are the best means to tackle the Darfur crisis and to end people's suffering there.

Deby arrived in the Sudanese capital Khartoum on Wednesday in an official two-day visit.

The talks also gathered a number of Darfur tribes' leaders, including from the Zaghawa, one of the biggest tribes in both countries. Enditem
