Sudan: Ceasefire fails to quell Darfur violence

A unilateral ceasefire announced by Khartoum in late October has failed to improve security in Darfur, where armed groups continue to do battle, according to humanitarian and civil society officials. "Conditions on the ground remain the same; there is a lot of insecurity," an aid worker, who requested anonymity, told IRIN. "Reports of attacks continue, even carjacking has occurred, although there has been no drastic deterioration."
