Sudan Admits Shooting At UN Convey In Darfur

And the previous denials stop:

January 10, 2008 (KHARTOUM) — Sudan acknowledged Thursday that its troops shot at a United Nations convoy in Darfur, reversing an initial denial, but it in part blamed the peacekeepers saying they should have notified Khartoum of their movements.

The Sudanese government has demanded that the joint U.N.-African Union peacekeeping force give it prior notification for all its movements and not move at night, conditions the United Nations has rejected.

There will be more of these conditions. Anything that slows down the deployment or restricts the force’s freedom of mobility is good for the government.

Too Huge World has more about this. He calls it “comedy”. How true.
