Sudan violates Darfur cease-fire
The United States has accused Sudan of violating a ceasefire reached last week with rebels in the Darfur province. U.S. officials said Sudanese militias continued to attack rebel positions and civilian communities in Darfour. They said Sudan's air force has also resumed bombings of rebel targets over the last few days. "We do still have reports that the government-supported Arab militias are attacking parts of western and southern Darfour," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said on Monday. "There are also reports of continuing aerial bombardments, such as at Anka, northwest of Khartoum this morning." Officials said the government-sponsored Arab militias have also prevented non-Arab Sudanese from returning to their homes in Darfour. They said the militias have taken over the land left by the refugees.Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-04-14 |
