At an emergency Arab League meeting in Cairo, Amr Moussa urged the Sudanese government to have more time to end the Darfur crisis amid reports of state backed Arab militias targeting African villagers. Nigerian President Obasanjo offered to host peace talks in Nigeria starting Aug. 23, with previous talks having collapsed on July 17. The conflict has left up to 30,000 dead and 1 million displaced, as the U.N. has threatened sanctions if militias are not restrained.
