Sudan has warned Britain and the US not to interfere in its internal affairs.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair said today he had not ruled out military aid to help combat the crisis in the Darfur region.
Washington accuses Khartoum of backing Janjaweed Arab militia in a campaign some U.S. officials have described as ethnic cleansing against black African villagers in Darfur.
The US circulated a UN resolution tonight threatening sanctions against the Sudan government if it did not prosecute Arab militia leaders in Darfur.
It also advocated an immediate embargo on weapons given to Arab militias, the Janjaweed, as well as any other armed group terrorizing Darfur civilians.
The 15-month conflict has killed at least 30,000 people, forced villagers into concentration-camp type compounds and left 2m people without enough food and medicine.
The Khartoum government has been accused of using its aircraft and helicopters to aid the Janjaweed, who are blamed for murder, widespread rape, pillaging and driving African villagers from their homes.
Two weeks ago, the Sudanese government promised to protect displaced civilians, disarm the Janjaweed and punish those responsible for atrocities, among other measures.
But RTÉ News has evidence that the nomad arab militia blamed by the UN for the mass murder of black African farmers in western Sudan is still armed and engaging in attacks.
