Talks between Sudan and rebels break down
The Sudanese government suspended peace talks with southern rebels Monday because of the rebel takeover of a town. The Sudanese army sent reinforcements Monday for a new offensive to recapture the southern town of Torit, which it withdrew from a day earlier under heavy rebel shelling, state-run Sudanese radio reported. "We will no longer be bound by the self-restraint policy," army spokesman General Mohamed Basher Suliman said, according to the radio. Doesn't seem like either side is really good at self-restraint, does it? Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-09-02 |
