Darfur

Violence continues to escalate in Darfur, despite the 'ceasefire' and continuing UN talks about inserting peacekeepers.

Days of fighting between former rebels and government forces killed more than 150 people and wounded at least 400 in a southern Sudanese town, a U.N. official said Saturday.

The battle was one of the worst breaches of a January 2005 peace agreement that ended 21 years of civil war in the south, a conflict separate from the ethnic bloodletting in Sudan's western Darfur region.
