WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice criticized the Sudanese government Monday for kicking out the top U.N. official in the country, calling the decision "unfortunate in the extreme."
"The situation in Darfur is deteriorating and the international community needs to be able to act there," she said.
Rice told reporters before a meeting with International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei that she would discuss the matter with U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan later in the day.
Sudan on Sunday gave U.N. envoy Jan Pronk -- who has openly criticized Khartoum as well as rebel groups on his Web log -- 72 hours to leave the country.(Full story)
Pronk, in turn, told Sudan's foreign ministry that all parties involved in the Darfur conflict, including the government, should comply with the Darfur peace agreement, a U.N. spokeswoman said.
Two rebel groups, including one of the country's largest, signed a peace agreement in May but violence has continued to rage.
A 7,000-strong African Union peacekeeping force has been unable to stop the violent civil war in Darfur, a province in western Sudan.
A U.N. resolution approved on August 31 authorized the creation of a more robust, better-equipped U.N. peacekeeping mission, but Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir has refused to accept such a force, saying it would violate his country's sovereignty.
The conflict began three years ago when ethnic African rebels took up arms over what they saw as neglect by the Arab-dominated central government. The government responded by unleashing Arab militias, known as Janjaweed, who are accused of systematically raping women and pillaging villages. The Bush administration has labeled the crisis a genocide.
An estimated 200,000 people have been killed and more than 2 million displaced within Darfur since the conflict began three years ago, according to the United Nations.
