The Sudan peace talks have been deferred to September 10 to give delegates time to consult on power sharing and security. The meeting chairman, Mr Lazarus Sumbeiywo, said most of the delegates did not have the mandate to decide on some of the issues raised and needed further consultation. "The delegates agreed this morning that we adjourn the talks for some time to give them time to consult with their people. Some of the delegates do not have the mandate to make decisions," he said.
