The statement added that the UN will impose an embargo on arms shipments and call for the return back of the displaced and authorization of an international teams to investigate " war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfour." The UN secretary general Kofi Annan said he will submit during 3 weeks a report to the UN security council over the progress attained in Darfour's issue.

Meantime, Khartoum accused non- governmental organizations of supporting the rebels in Darfour, stressing it will be careful in dealing with people's organizations which desire to work in Sudan. The Sudanese minister of the Interior, Abdul Rahim Hussein, said in a press conference that certain organizations which he called suspect are taking of the humanitarian issues a cover to carry out its special agenda to supporting the rebels. The conference was held on the occasion of sending a police forces to Darfour to replace the military forces deployed there.

The Sudanese minister denied the existence of Chad's opposition members inside Sudan.
