Qatar, building off its success in mediating Lebanon's intractable political deadlock, will host a reconciliation conference to end the devastating conflict in Sudan's western Darfur region, a Qatari minister announced Tuesday.
In May, it brokered a deal between rival Lebanese factions that ended a two-year long political standoff. The latest bid reflects the tiny Gulf state's desire to continue such high profile efforts.
Qatar's minister of state for foreign affairs, Ahmed Bin Abdallah al-Mahmoud, announced the plan after meetings at the Arab League in Cairo, a visit that came on the heels of his weeklong tour of Sudan.
Al-Mahmoud said consultations are under way to set a date for the conference, to be held in the Qatari capital, Doha. But he cautioned the gathering would need good preparation to succeed.
