'No ambiguities' over Darfur solution, UN told

Sudan’s foreign ministry today dismissed UN scepticism over the slow pace of an international solution for Darfur, saying that authorities in Sudan felt there were “no ambiguities” on how the crisis should be solved.

The move followed frustration vented by the UN Security Council over Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir’s refusal to clearly commit to a planned hybrid UN and African mission to pacify Sudan’s western Darfur region, where more than 200,000 people have died in four years of conflict.
