Emergency state in E. Sudan over expected "attack" from Eritrea


 

Sudan, Jul 21, 2004 - Kassala State in eastern Sudan yesterday declared a state of emergency throughout the state in anticipation of an attack, which might be carried out by an armed opposition group from the territory of neighbouring Eritrea.

This will increase the difficulties already facing the government in Darfur [State], western Sudan.

The state's governor, Faruq Hasan Nur, described it [the expected attack] as an Eritrean plan to see violence and instability spread in the country. He stressed that Eritrea is giving support to armed Sudanese factions and denied that the Sudanese government is backing groups opposed to the regime of [Eritrean President] Isayas Afewerki.

Meanwhile, the African Union [AU] has announced that it is making attempts to reactivate the stalled talks between Khartoum and the Darfur rebels at a time when the UN has said that attacks by Janjawid militias on African residents in Darfur are continuing. [Passage omitted]
