Sudan rejects Darfur resolution


Darfur has been described as the
world's worst humanitarian crisis

Sudan has rejected a new UN resolution, which says Khartoum must halt atrocities by Arab militias in the western Darfur region within 30 days.

Information Minister Al-Zahawi Ibrahim Malik said the document was incorrect.

But Sudan's UN ambassador Elfatih Erwa said the government would nonetheless comply with the US-drafted resolution.

The UN Security Council adopted the document after the US dropped the word "sanctions" and added economic and diplomatic "measures".

The vote was passed with two abstentions - from China and Pakistan.
