Sudan, South Sudan say to settle disputes peacefully

Sudan and South Sudan will resolve their disagreements through dialogue, Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir and southern counterpart Salva Kiir said, but gave no hint of any progress after several meetings on Saturday.       

Kiir arrived on Saturday in Khartoum on his first visit since South Sudan seceded in July from its former civil war foe.       

The two countries have failed to agree how to share oil revenues and other assets, divide up debt, calm the joint border area and agree what to do about the disputed region of Abyei.       

Kiir said the era of war had ended with the 2005 peace deal.            

Both countries set up five committees to strengthen ties, especially on trade cooperation, according to the Sudanese Media Centre (SMC), a news website linked to the northern government.
