The Sudanese authorities have denied rebel accusations that they have broken this month's peace deal by attacking and looting a village in Darfur. The region's largest rebel group, which signed the deal with the government, said the army and Arab militias had launched the raid in North Darfur. The BBC's Alfred Taban in Khartoum says the reported attack is very bad news for the peace deal. More than 2m people have fled their homes during the three-year conflict. North Darfur governor Osman Mohamed Kibir told the BBC that the accusations of army involvement were groundless. But our correspondent says that aid agencies working in the region have backed up the rebel claims.
