The Sudanese government has devised a "plan of action" to allay world fears over the increasingly desperate humanitarian situation in the African nation's Darfur region.
A 'plan of action'! That's the spirit! Boy howdy these Sudanese really know what sells at the U.N. | The administration in Khartoum has now just three weeks to disarm militias responsible for a reign of terror over the past 18 months, or face unspecified United Nations sanctions. Under the "Plan of Action for Darfur", the government will approach "militias over whom it has influence and instruct them to cease their activities forthwith and lay down their weapons," according to a report by The Associated Press.
"Hey youze guyz! Putcher rods away, youze scaring people!"
"But boss, we thought ..."
"That's yer problem, youze thinking! Douse da heat!" | CNN Chief International Corresponslutdent Christiane Amanpour, reporting from Khartoum, said Sunday the government of Sudan was "reacting to the increasing calibrated international pressure against it, including pressure by the United States."
