Sudan suspends UN relief work in Darfur
Sudan suspended the United Nations mission in Darfur after accusing the world body of transporting a rebel leader opposed to the recent peace agreement.
"The suspension applies for all of Darfur and this will continue until we get an explanation," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Jamal Ibrahim.

Ibrahim said that a U.N. helicopter had transported rebel leader Suleiman Adam Jamous who opposes the current peace agreement. He called the action a "flagrant violation" of the sovereignty of Sudan.
