Govt given deadline to disarm militia
The chief of the only Darfur rebel group that signed a peace agreement with the Sudanese government set an ultimatum today for Khartoum to disarm the feared janjaweed paramilitary group by the end of December.
The ultimatum from Minni Minawi, head of the main branch of the Sudan Liberation Movement, came a day after the pro-government janjaweed looted the central market in north Darfur’s capital, El Fasher, clashing with SLM fighters and killing at least two.
