 KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) - Recent fighting in Darfur has killed more than 60 people as armed factions battle over territory ahead of a planned disarmament, African and U.N. officials said. Sudan's army on Monday denied breaching the peace agreement.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, in a report released Monday, accused Sudan's government of violating international humanitarian law by barring fuel, food and relief aid to civilians in Darfur.
Fighting in Darfur has not abated since the May 5 deal to end the conflict, which has left more than 180,000 dead and 2.5 million displaced in the arid western region since 2003.
