Sudanese tribal leaders attend the Darfur peace talks in Abuja, Nigeria, on Tuesday, when British and U.S. diplomats intervened.
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) -- Sudanese rebels on Thursday endorsed a new proposal drafted by the United States and Britain to help end the war in the troubled Darfur region, saying it meets their key demands and could set the stage for a peace accord.
A rebel negotiator, speaking on condition of anonymity because the parties involved had been asked not to reveal details of the proposal, said it called for thousands of rebels to be integrated into Sudanese security forces.
Sudanese government officials were not immediately available for comment but have indicated they were ready to make concessions.
