EL-FASHER Sudan — The Ceasefire Commission notes with great disappointment reports of air bombardment by GoS in Anka Village and Wadi Korma on 16 and 19 January 2007 respectively. Preliminary investigations by AMIS have confirmed that the aerial bombings indeed took place as reported.
It is unfortunate that these incidents take place at all but particularly when efforts are being made to reenergize the peace process by broadening support for the DPA by bringing on board the non-signatories.
The Ceasefire Commission is once again calling on all parties to refrain from any activities that will jeopardize the peace process.
