Summary UN Security Council demandd two Sudans to halt hostilities.
Sudan on Saturday rejected UN Security Council involvement in efforts to end weeks of border clashes with South Sudan that have raised fears of a wider war.Sudan confirms that it rejects any efforts to disturb the African Union role and take the situation between Sudan and South Sudan to the UN Security Council, Foreign Minister Ali Karti said in a statement.The African Union itself, in a decision last Tuesday, asked the Security Council to endorse its demand that the two Sudans halt hostilities in 48 hours, start talks within two weeks and complete a peace accord in three months.But Karti -- while expressing full confidence in the AUs role -- said involvement by the Security Council would give priority to a political position which was announced before and has a hidden agenda.He did not elaborate.
