Iran Press/ Africa: "With the conflict between rival militaries in Sudan entering its third month, the people of Darfur are trapped in a living nightmare," Martin Griffiths said in a statement issued late on Thursday night.
He deplored the spreading inter-communal violence in Darfur that threatens to reignite the ethnic tensions that stoked deadly conflict there 20 years ago.
The top UN official highlighted reports of ethnic killings in West Darfur’s capital El Geneina and stressed that Darfur was rapidly spiraling into a “humanitarian calamity”.
The world cannot allow this to happen, “not again”, Mr. Griffiths said.
The conflict continues to take a devastating toll on people across the country. The UN World Food Programme (WFP) said on Friday that an additional 2.5 million are expected to slip into hunger in the coming months.
