Sudan clears UN visit to Darfur
Sudan has said it will allow Jan Egeland, the UN undersecretary, to visit Darfur, three days after it barred his flight to the conflict-ridden region of the country. Elsamani Elwasilah Elsamani, Sudan's state minister for foreign affairs, said in a press statement on Wednesday that "we reiterate our commitment to receive concerned officials from the United Nations and all other those who are engaged in extending humanitarian aid and assistance". The visit of Egeland, the UN Undersecretary for Humanitarian Affairs, had been postponed for 10 days because of "internal reasons", the statement said, without elaboration.Posted by: Fred 2006-04-06 |
