KAMPALA, July 5 (Xinhua) -- Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni met here Friday with a leader of Sudan's Transitional Military Council and the two discussed the situation in Sudan.

A State House statement issued in Kampala said Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan Abdelrahman told Museveni that the situation back home is normalizing following an agreement reached between the Military Council and other groups in Khartoum.

"I had a good briefing from His Excellency. I am very happy now the Military Council has agreed with the groups," Museveni was quoted as saying.

"I encourage the Sudanese to agree because this type of agitation is very dangerous. It scares away business and it scares away investors," Museveni said.

Abdelrahman, for his part, said the meeting with Museveni comes at a critical time, describing Museveni as a wise man with a lot of experience to share with neighboring countries and Africa as a whole.

"We wish that the visit will have a very positive reflection on the way forward for Sudan internally, regionally and externally," he said.

Abdelrahman assured Museveni that Sudan is going to be accommodative to everybody and will restore its former glory, the State House statement said.
