SUDANESE AIR ATTACKS RESUME IN DARFOUR
Sudan's air force was said to have resumed air operations against villages in Darfour. Western diplomatic sources and relief agencies said Khartoum violated an agreement reached on Nov. 9 to end air attacks on villages in Darfour. They said that on Tuesday Sudanese air force planes bombed Tawila in the northern part of the province. The air attack was said to have been part of a military effort to regain control of Tawila amid a rebel offensive. On Nov. 22, rebel groups captured Tawila, located in northern Darfour and which contains about 30,000 refugees. "The parties have committed themselves to refrain from all hostilities and military actions," UN envoy Jan Pronk said. "I fully expect them to live up to their obligations."
