ANYONE STILL THINKING ABOUT THE NO FLY ZONE DARFUR?
OFF THE BBC, SUNDAY NIGHT
Sudanese planes 'bombing Darfur'
The AU's 7,000 peacekeepers on the ground have made little impact
Rebel commanders in the troubled Darfur region of Sudan say government aircraft have bombed northern areas of the province, in breach of a ceasefire.
They claimed several villages had been hit over the weekend.
The Sudanese government has denied the reports, which come days after President Omar al-Bashir vowed to adhere to a UN peace plan.
More than 200,000 people have died and 2.5m have fled their homes in Darfur during the four-year-old civil war.
A rebel commander, Abdallah Banda, from the rebel Justice and Equality Movement, said three villages had been destroyed by Sudanese aircraft in north Darfur.
He did not say how many people had died.
The Sudanese army denied the allegation.
"We never bombard civilians anywhere," a military spokesman told the Associated Press news agency.
How long can this go on without some minimal action on our part? Standing by and watching the Jews taken to the camps is not better than being one of the Waffen SS.
