UN: Darfur crimes still ongoing
Brandon Smith at 3:33 PM ET
The UN reported Wednesday that crimes by pro-government Janjaweed militias in the Darfur region of Sudan are continuing. Radhia Achouri, spokeswoman for Jan Pronk, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan's envoy to Sudan, said rape cases are in the hundreds and are still increasing, supporting statements made Tuesday by UNICEF officials. The UN Security Council, which has already threatened sanctions against Sudan, now demands that the Sudanese government arrest anyone committing looting, robbery, burning, or rape, regardless of "whether the culprit is from the Janjaweed or the Popular Forces leaders." AFP has more. Read the text of Pronk's latest full report to the Security Council from October 5. Follow recent news on the crisis in Darfur on JURIST's Paper Chase here.
