Updated: 2:30 p.m. ET Sept. 17, 2004Sudan's government said Friday that
three-week-old peace talks with Darfur rebels in the Nigerian capital,
Abuja, were over, accusing the United States of increasing the rebels'
resolve to avoid a compromise.
"Statements made by senior officials of the U.S.A. poisoned the talks
environment and sent wrong signals to the rebels, who immediately stiffened
their positions," Najib Abdulwahab, Sudan's minister of state for foreign
affairs, told reporters.
But he said the two sides would reconvene after a month to try to hammer out
a deal on humanitarian and security issues.
Rebels were due to meet Friday evening with Olusegun Obasanjo, the president
of Nigeria and chairman of the African Union, to give their version of
events before making an official comment on the talks.
The United States has been pressing for a U.N. resolution that would
threaten sanctions against Khartoum if it failed to rein in militias that
have been attacking and killing civilians, driving more than 1 million
people out of their homes.
Violence in refugee camp
The pent-up tensions in a squalid refugee camp in Darfur exploded into
violence Friday, when residents almost beat to death a government official
who tried to prevent them from speaking to Andrew Natsios, administrator of
the U.S. Agency for International Development.
More than 70,000 people are crowded into the disease-ridden Mornei camp in
Sudan's western Darfur state, some of the 1.2 million people to have been
displaced by the marauding Janjaweed Arab militia, which is accused of
burning and looting African villages.
Natsios was talking to tribal chiefs in the camp when they became agitated.
A Khartoum government official from the Humanitarian Aid Commission
instructed them to "calm down; shut up."
The leaders became angry and began to shout "Janjaweed, Janjaweed." Men and
boys dressed in long white jalabiyas began to beat the official with poles
and hatchets.
The official tried to run away, but the men gave chase until he collapsed on
the ground, his head split open in two places.  Still, he was beaten.
Aid workers intervened to stop the violence. An African Union observer tried
to protect the man but was also hit.
A youth brandishing a long hatchet barked at reporters afterward: "They [the
Janjaweed] killed 10 of my family." Other youths demonstrated waving knives,
sticks and hatchets. "They killed my father and my mother," one boy cried
angrily.
Natsios, who was on an eight-day tour of Sudan, was evacuated to safety. He
said later that the riot was an indication of the tensions in the crowded
camps, where hepatitis E and malaria are rife.
"There is absolute rage in all the camps," he said.
Khartoum admits arming some militias to fight Darfur rebels who launched an
uprising against the government in February 2003, but it denies any links to
the Janjaweed, whom it calls outlaws.
The United Nations estimates that 50,000 people have been killed in the
conflict, which it says has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
U.N. debate
The United States has presented a toned-down resolution on Sudan to win
support from China, Russia and other Security Council members who fear that
the threat of sanctions against Khartoum could complicate efforts to end the
looting and killing. U.S. Ambassador John Danforth has said he expects to
call a vote for Saturday in the 15-member council.
With Washington pressing for a vote, possibly before the end of the weekend,
Secretary-General Kofi Annan called for urgent action by the council and the
international community to stop attacks on civilians.
He accused Sudan of failing to rein in the militias and said government
forces and rebels in Darfur were guilty of cease-fire violations.
The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Louise Arbour, was scheduled to
visit Sudan over the weekend to see what could be done to halt the violence.
