Senegal says Palestinian talks "direct and fraternal"

The government of Senegal says its president is brokering talks between the Fatah and Hamas Palestinian factions.

The Senegalese government said in a statement released Saturday that representatives of both groups were "direct and fraternal" in the first of seven planned rounds of talks in Dakar. The statement did not provide further details.

Senegalese president Abdoulaye Wade pledged at a March summit of Islamic states held in the West African capital that he would undertake to mediate between the groups.
