EU worried about humanitarian crisis in Sudan's Darfur region
KHARTOUM, March 4 (AFP) - President Omar al-Beshir held talks
Thursday with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
about aid to Sudan's western Darfur region as Europe voiced concern
over the "escalating" humanitarian crisis there.
Beshir said huge quantities of supplies were now on their way
from Khartoum to violence-hit Darfur during talks with ICRC
president Jakob Kellenberger, a minister said.
State Foreign Minister Al Tigani Salih Fidhail told reporters
that Beshir praised the ICRC's aid in general and to Darfur in
particular. He added that aid corridors were not only open in the
west, but also in the south and north.
Meanwhile, the European Union voiced "serious" concern about the
humanitarian crisis in the region and urged Khartoum and rebel
groups to guarantee safe passage for relief to all areas affected by
the conflict.
Brussels "strongly" condemned attacks by pro-government
Janjaweed militiamen on villages and centres for internally
displaced persons (IDP), and it urged the government to "put an end
to the Janjaweed atrocities," said a statement.
It also urged the government to "thoroughly" investigate the
militia practices and "ensure that the perpetrators are brought to
justice."
The European Union called on the parties to agree an immediate
ceasefire and negotiate a restoration of peace and stability in the
region, said the statement faxed to AFP by the Dutch embassy.
The European Union says more than 700,000 people have been
displaced within Sudan since February last year when the rebellion
erupted over alleged government neglect of the impoverished region
neighboring Chad.
Some 3,000 people have died in the conflict and another 100,000
Sudanese are estimated to have fled across the border into Chad, say
humanitarian groups.
