U.N. and Sudan.

A U.N. draft resolution on Friday urged warring parties in southern Sudan and western Darfur to reach peace agreements while promising international support and possible debt forgiveness if they do.

But the British draft also reiterates that the Security Council will consider "further urgent action" against any party in the Darfur conflict that fails to implement an April ceasefire, protect civilians, cooperate with African Union peacekeepers, disarm militias and prosecute the perpetrators of atrocities.

...U.S. Ambassador John Danforth, the current council president who conceived the Nairobi meeting to focus on Sudan, said Thursday the resolution will "present the concept of the carrot — namely that the international community will be there for Sudan if there is peace."

But if there is no peace, he said, the council will make clear that "nothing good is going to come to the various groups."

...Jan Pronk, the top U.N. envoy to Sudan, said Thursday that the council needs to use "strong political language" in Nairobi and offer the government and rebel groups "not just a carrot, but also a stick."

The Security Council should set a deadline, demanding that the agreement to end the civil war be finalized by the end of the year, he said.

Again, the monsters must be trembling in their boots.
