Sudan's President Omar al-Beshir said Wednesday he hoped his country's two-decade-old civil war could be over by the end of June, after meeting with rebel leader John Garang in Kenya.

"Our talks focused on the need to respect the peace process ...and to favour the success of the negotiations so that peace can be realised, if God is willing, before the end of June," he told reporters on arrival back at Khartoum airport.

After Beshir's meeting earlier Wednesday in Nairobi with Grarang the two men announced that talks aimed at ending the civil war would resume at the weekend.

Garang heads the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA), based in the south of the country and the largest armed group fighting the Islamic regime in Khartoum in a war over religion, resources and power.

Wednesday's meeting was the second face-to-face encounter between the two leaders since the SPLA took up arms in 1983 - Sapa-AFP
