1 November 2005 – Secretary-General Kofi Annan's Special Representative to Sudan today raised questions about the country's problematic security situation, which has limited the movements of United Nations personnel, during a meeting in Khartoum with the Interior Minister.
UN envoy Jan Pronk met with Interior Minister Abdulrahim Mohamed Hussein and discussed the situation in troubled West Darfur, where insecurity continues to hamper the world body's movements.
The roads to and from West Darfur's capital, Geneina, are "no-go" for the UN and humanitarian assistance is being provided by air.
Mr. Pronk noted, however, that cooperation between the Sudanese police and UN civilian police has significantly improved.
In his most recent monthly report to the Security Council, Mr. Annan said the resurgence of violence in Sudan's Darfur region and the Government's continued unwillingness or inability to restrain armed tribal militias might threaten the peace talks, and urged the international community to apply renewed pressure for a successful outcome.
