Abdul Aziz Annour, Justice and Equality Movement’s field leader, accused Sudanese military of conducting three days of air raids on two towns near the capital of South Darfur Al Jenaina killing three civilians
UN spokesperson in Sudan, Noureddine Al Mazni, confirmed the attacks and warned that “such actions do not affect just the humanitarian activities, but also the deployment of Darfur hybrid force and Darfur peace negotiations”
Al Mazni added that the volatile situation in Darfur was the main issue discussed by Rudolph Adada and AU and UN envoys Salim Ahmed Salim and Jan Eliasson in Khartoum
Eliasson plans to meet with rebel leaders to urge them to unify their positions and attend the next round of peace talks
Most humanitarian activities were curtailed in the region because of increased violence by rebel groups, government forces, and bandits
