 Sudan's air force killed or wounded about 100 people and forced thousands to flee when it bombed a town in western Sudan this week, the UN has said. UN spokeswoman Radhia Achouri quoted the African Union (AU) as saying Sudanese forces had bombed the Darfur town of Shangil Tobaya on Wednesday. "(The AU) said there are around 100 casualties. They are not talking about a specific death toll," she told Reuters in Cairo by telephone. The fighting had forced the UN to withdraw staff from the area, she said. "Whenever we have incidents like that we withdraw our people," she said. The AU is monitoring a shaky ceasefire signed in April between Sudanese government and rebels in the Darfur province. |
