UN, Agencies Withdraw Under Threats in Sudan http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=5 86&e=8&u=/nm/20050316/wl_ nm/sudan_darfur_dc" title="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=5 86&e=8&u=/nm/20050316/wl_ nm/sudan_darfur_dc" target="_blank"http://story.news.yahoo.com/n... KHARTOUM, Sudan (Reuters) - The United Nations (news - web sites) has withdrawn all international staff in part of western Sudan to the state capital after Arab militias said they would target foreigners and U.N. convoys in the area, the top U.N. envoy in Sudan said Wednesday. Jan Pronk also told Reuters in an interview that the government had made small steps to disarm the militia, known locally as Janjaweed, in West Darfur state, but more had to be done. The Janjaweed stand accused of a campaign of rape, killing, looting and burning non-Arab villages. "The Janjaweed militia have said that they will now target all foreigners and all U.N. humanitarian convoys so we have withdrawn all people to El-Geneina," he said. The militias gave the warning to the drivers of seized U.N. trucks, he added. All aid agency staff in the area -- West Darfur state on the Chad border -- have also pulled back to the El-Geneina, which is the state capital, he said. Pronk said the threats probably arose because the governor of West Darfur state had demanded that all cars the government had given to the militia in the past be returned. U.N. security officials were assessing the threat. The Khartoum government has admitted arming some militia to quell a rebellion launched in early 2003 but denies all links to the Janjaweed, calling them outlaws. West Darfur had been relatively quiet in recent months while tensions were high in South Darfur state and parts of North Darfur. Tens of thousands of people have been killed during the rebellion and thousands die every month in camps which house the almost 2 million people who have fled their homes in Darfur. The U.N. Security Council has demanded that Sudan disarm the Arab militias, and Pronk said the government needed to take tough action against them. "The government will have to take action politically and militarily against the Janjaweed," he said. But he said not much had been done yet. Pronk berated the U.N. Security Council for failing to break a deadlock over a resolution on Sudan, saying those responsible for war crimes there needed to be brought to justice. If not, it would create a feeling of impunity for the criminals and the victims would lose faith in the international community. "It is not responsible, in my opinion, to continue deliberating who is going to be the court," he said. Yep. More finger-pointing and grab-ass by the U.N. while innocent people die. Great work, you vermin. |
