UN envoy probes Sudan atrocities
A UN envoy arrived in Sudan today to examine the government’s efforts to improve security and rein in Arab militia accused of months of atrocities in Darfur, preparing an assessment that could determine whether Sudan will be hit with sanctions.
“This is an objective verification and the UN’s mind has not been made up,” UN deputy humanitarian coordinator Erick De Mul said after flying into the airport at Al-Fasher, capital of North Darfur state.
