 KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) - Killings, rapes and indiscriminate attacks on civilians continue in Darfur, the United Nations said Friday, accusing Sudanese soldiers of apparently coordinating with armed militia in terrorizing the troubled region.
The report from the High Commissioner for Human Rights chastised the government of Omar el-Bashir, saying promises to end centuries of discrimination of black African minorities were marked by "token gestures" while murder and torture go unpunished.
There has been growing pressure for stronger sanctions to be imposed by the U.N. Security Council, to be chaired from February by the United States, which accuses Sudan's government of genocide.
