WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 (Xinhuanet) -- Two senior US envoys will visit Sudan in the next two weeks, the State Department officials said on Monday.

    Jendayi Frazer, assistant secretary of state for African affairs, and Roger Winter, the special representative for Sudan, will seek to bolster a January peace accord and push for a settlement in Darfur, the officials said.

    The State Department did not give a precise date for the visit to Sudan.

    Washington "strongly condemns" Saturday's attack on African Union personnel in southern Darfur which left two Nigerian troops and two civilian drivers dead, deputy State Department spokesman Adam Ereli said in a statement.

    "Violence will not bolster the negotiating position of any party in the Abuja peace talks, will not earn any group enhanced contacts with the United States, and will not gain any faction a seat at the negotiating table.

    "The United States reiterates its unequivocal support for the African Union with respect to its mission in Darfur and its mediation of the Abuja talks," Ereli said, referring to peace negotiations in the Nigerian capital.

    Ereli said their aim was to support implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed in January to end two decades of war between Khartoum and southern rebels, and to press for a resolution of the Darfur crisis. Enditem
