In Darfur, the African Union peacekeeping force is accusing the Sudanese government of allowing militias to carry out attacks with impunity.

African Union officer Harry Soka: “Due to lack of command and control, arms and armory, accountability and covertly support and from GOS (Government of Sudan), the group roams freely within our areas of responsibility, threatening, intimidating and attacking anybody opposed to the GOS interests within the area.”
