Sudan to accept UN resolution on Darfur crisis
font size    

The Sudanese government will accept and implement the UN Security Council resolution on the Darfur crisis which the government rejected Friday, a senior diplomat said in Addis Ababa on July 31.

"We are not happy with the resolution, but we have to accept it and implement

it," Osman Elsayed, Sudanese ambassador to Ethiopia, told a press conference in Addis Ababa, adding "no other options."

The UN Security Council on Friday endorsed a resolution that gave the Sudanese government 30 days to disarm Arab militias blamed for the deaths of thousands in Darfur region or face diplomatic and economic penalties.

The Sudanese government rejected the resolution hours later, saying "it (the resolution) was not a correct one."

Sudanese Information Minister Al-Zahawi Ibrahim Malik said in a statement that the resolution ''does not conform with the agreements signed between the government and the United Nations,'' adding that the government was capable of ''disarming all the looting and robbing gangs.''

The Darfur crisis have escalated into what the United Nations called the world's current worst humanitarian crisis since the indigenous revolted against Khartoum government in February 2003 as over 10,000 people have been killed and more than one million displaced.
