Attacks on Kalma Camp, DarfurWe are concerned by indiscriminate weapons fire by Sudanese government forces on the Kalma internally displaced persons camp in South Darfur, Sudan. Attacks on vulnerable populations in Sudan are deplorable and violate international law. We call on the Government of Sudan to thoroughly investigate this incident and ensure that such actions are not repeated.
The United States deplores all violence in Darfur, and reminds the Government of Sudan and all parties of their commitment to peace under the Darfur Peace Agreement.
