Sudan Violating Security Council Resolutions: UN

An unpublished United Nations report says the government of Sudan is flying arms and heavy military equipment into the Darfur region in violation of Security Council resolutions.

The report says the planes have been painted white to disguise them as United Nations or African Union aircraft.

In one case, which the report illustrates with close-up pictures, the letters “U.N” have been stencilled onto the wing of a white-washed Sudanese armed forces plane at a Darfur airport.
