Sudan: UN says Sudan failing on Darfur

A new United Nations report says Sudan has not disarmed Arab militias or stopped attacks against civilians in the strife-torn Darfur region. The report for the UN Security Council did note some progress, but called for more foreign troops to go to Sudan. The Sudanese ambassador to the UN described the report, which did not recommend any sanctions, as balanced. Up to 50,000 people have been killed in Darfur, following a campaign by Arab militias against black Africans.
