Surprise meter: don't bother.
Sudan is ignoring a looming UN deadline to rein in Arab militia accused of months of atrocities in the bloodied Darfur region, a top Sudanese official asserted Thursday, saying his country will work in the interest of its people unswayed by international pressure. "We aren't bothered by the UN deadline at all. It never crossed our mind. We are working towards our duties for our Master Race™ people," said Sudan's Agriculture Minister Majzoub al-Khalifa Ahmad, lead government negotiator at peace talks with Darfur rebels in the Nigerian capital, Abuja. The mostly-Arab Janjaweed are accused of attacking ethnic African villagers in what the US Congress and some aid groups call genocide. The government, accused of supporting the Janjaweed, only admit to having some "control" over them.
| Yikes! It was Aftenposten, I swear...now not there. Found a Xinhua article that is essentially the same. Bottom line, still sucks to be in Darfur. |
