The latest round of peace talks between the Sudanese government and rebels from the Darfur region ran into trouble yesterday when insurgents accused a state-backed militia of breaching a cease-fire and killing 30 people. African Union cease-fire monitors said they had launched an investigation into the alleged raid, but had so far found no evidence to support the insurgentsâ claim.âAs is the case with every other round of talks, the government of Sudan is violating the cease-fire agreement,â said Abdulrahman Musa, head of the Sudanese Liberation Movement and Sudanese Liberation Army delegation to an African Union peace conference in Abuja. Speaking on the sidelines of a preliminary seminar on power sharing, Musa told reporters that his group and a second rebel force, the Justice and Equality Movement, had lodged a complaint with AU cease-fire monitors and conference mediators. The representative of the AU commission monitoring the Darfur cease-fire, Babagana Kingibe, told reporters that the allegation was being investigated. âWeâve asked our troops to verify,â he said. âThey have made a preliminary survey and so far they have not found any evidence of any attack. We have asked the SLA to give us the coordinates of the position where this attack is supposed to have taken place. They are going to provide us the coordinates and we shall send a team to investigate whether such an attack indeed took place or not.â
