Khartoum, Feb. 1, SPA -- Sudan on Tuesday described as unfair a U.N. report which found Sudanese officials and allied militia leaders responsible for widespread abuses in the troubled Darfur region, saying some facts were incorrect. Ruling National Congress Party (NCP) Secretary-General Ibrahim Ahmed Omar told relporters Sudan would present its response to the U.N. Security Council and said he hoped the world body would not accept the report as it stood. "We are going to show that there are some claims which are false and there are some misreadings of some facts in some situations -- therefore as it stands now (the report) is not fair to Sudan," he said in Khartoum. "The government hopes to rectify this," he said, adding Sudan would present its comments to the U.N. Security Council before the end of the week. Omar welcomed the fact that the report did not agree with the U.S. assertion that there was genocide in Darfur, where tens of thousands have been killed during a two-year-old uprising. Justice Minister Ali Mohamed Osman Yassin said the excessive media coverage and visits by dignitaries had influenced the commission in its investigation. --More 1828 Local Time 1528 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/236118
