Sudan: Officials call for restraint following violence

Sudanese and UN officials have called for calm after 30 people were killed when Sudanese security forces tried last Wednesday to forcibly relocate internally displaced persons (IDPs) from Soba Eradi camp, 30 km south of the Sudanese capital, Khartoum. In a statement, Jan Pronk, the special representative of the UN Secretary-General in Sudan, said he was "deeply concerned by reports of death in the Soba IDP area."
