A spokesman for the Sudanese army called last week's UN Security Council resolution on the Darfur situation a "declaration of war on the Sudan and its people" and vowed to "confront the enemies of the Sudan on land, sea and air." The
resolution, which threatens "international measures" against Sudan if it does not restore security to the Darfur region, does not mention the possible use of force. As
previously reported on JURIST's
Paper Chase, the Sudanese government has said that it will accept the UN resolution. AFP has the
full story on the army's stance on the resolution.
