Annan urges action to end Sudan crisis

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan today called on the Security Council to issue “the strongest warning” to the forces fighting in Sudan to bring an end to the civil wars there.

“I regret to report that the security situation in Darfur continued to deteriorate despite the ceasefire agreement signed earlier,” Annan told Security Council members, who began extraordinary meetings in the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
