File under: Govt of Sudan

#1 One civilian Sudanese driver was in a critical condition after being shot seven times, UNAMID said in a statement. Its forces were now at a "high state of alert" in Darfur.
Now at a high state of alert he says..

"The convoy came under fire from the Government of Sudan forces," said the diplomatic source in Darfur.

"It is not clear how it happened. The convoy was traveling after 10 p.m. in the dark. They could have mistaken them for rebels. There have been a lot of things going on in that area recently."
APC's and Trucks, painted bright white. Sounds like rebel equipment..

#2 "They could have mistaken them for rebels. "

And they already have their excuses for not taking action against the gov't of Sudan...aka Chinese sock-puppet.
