| Sudan: Govt dismisses UN raids report |
| 2006-11-07 |
| (SomaliNet) The Sudanese government has dismissed a UN report that Sudan backed militia raids in Sudan's Darfur region in which some 60 people died calling it "lies". Sudan's foreign ministry spokesman Ali Sadeq said, "These reports... contain huge amounts of lies, manipulation and lack of credibility." According to sources, at least 27 of the victims are thought to be children under the age of 12. The Sudanese government says it is disarming the Janjaweed militia, however media reports reveal in Sudan say all the evidence points to the exact opposite. The attacks were on camps for the displaced in the rebel stronghold of Jebel Moon, in West Darfur. |
