{{Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni and his sudanese counterpart Gen. Omar Bashir have agreed to work towards total peace between the two countries.}}<\/p>\n
The two met at the African Union (AU) summit held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Saturday. <\/p>\n
This was the first time the two heads of state were meeting face to face in over 10 years since their disagreements during the SPLA and LRA wars in Southern Sudan and Northern Uganda respectively.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the press after the meeting, Sudan foreign affairs minister Ali Karti said the two leaders agreed to halt all hostile actions between the two states.<\/p>\n
The meeting, Mr Karti said, was \u201cfriendly and frank\u201d during which President Bashir revealed \u2018very serious information\u2019 about Uganda and President Museveni responded to it. <\/p>\n
\u201cI do not think we are now in a position to say there is a final solution to the problems, but in my opinion, there is progress in the understanding of the Ugandan President to the seriousness of the request of Sudan and the information put forward by the President of the Republic of Sudan,\u201d Mr Karti said. <\/p>\n
He, however, did not clarify on the ingredients of the \u201cserious information\u201d from President Bashir but noted that the way President Museveni responded to Mr Bashir\u2019s concerns was better than the previous times.<\/p>\n
