Anglican leader warns of another Darfur


From London-Sudan

The head of the Anglican church, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, warned on Tuesday that unrest in central Sudan risked becoming "another Darfur" and urged international action.

In a statement, Williams said he and other Christian leaders "deplore the mounting level of aggression and bloodshed in South Kordofan state and the indiscriminate violence on the part of government troops against civilians".

"This violence is a major threat to the stability of Sudan just as the new state of South Sudan is coming into being," the archbishop added.

"The humanitarian challenge is already great, and the risk of another Darfur situation, with civilian populations at the mercy of government-supported terror, is a real one."
