In a joint communiqué with the United Nations, the Sudanese government on Saturday formally committed to the immediate disarmament of Janjawid militias and other outlaws operating in the western Darfur region. The communiqué was issued at the end of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan’s three-day visit to Sudan and Chad, where he met and talked to internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees who had fled from the ongoing conflict.
