Sudan: AU sees no genocide

African leaders under pressure to intervene in Darfur urged Khartoum on Wednesday urgently to "neutralise" the Janjaweed militia but said the bloodshed was not a genocide, a term used by some rights groups. The African Union's ruling was immediately proclaimed as a victory by the Sudanese government, which has long denied that the Arab militia's attacks on black African civilians are part of a government-backed extermination campaign.
