Obama Calls for Ceasefire In Sudan

The Telegraph reports:

Mr Obama said it was clear that military might would not solve the current crisis that has left at least 65 people dead, and called on both sides to honour their pledges or the US might reconsider its promise to remove Sudan from its list of states sponsoring terrorism.

His warning came as talk of a ceasefire deal at the African Union summit in Ethiopia gave way to further reports of bombings by the northern Sudanese Armed Forces in the north's main oil state which borders south Sudan.
