The Sudanese army has denied that its forces are badly demoralized after losing 2 key battles against rebels in Darfur. The comments from the army followed comments made by a top United Nations envoy in Sudan. For VOA, Noel King has more on this report from Khartoum.

United Nations special representative to the Secretary General Jan Pronk wrote on his web blog last week that the Sudanese army is in a state of disarray in Darfur. Pronk charged that some Sudanese troops are refusing to fight and he said some generals have been fired. A Sudanese armed forces spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Sawarmy Khalid denied Pronk's report that the army has suffered defeat in Darfur. He told VOA that the armed forces want Pronk to leave Sudan.

"Jan Pronk passed the fear in the affairs of the Sudanese army ..."

The spokesman also charged that Chad continues to support rebels in Darfur. Sudan in August began a military offensive against rebels in the region who have refused to sign onto a peace agreement with the Sudanese government. Noel King for VOA news, Khartoum.
