Sudanese president vows to defeat rebels, outlaws

Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir on Wednesday vowed to defeat the rebels and outlaws and to bring them to justice, official SUNA news agency reported. "The rebellion will be defeated and the outlaws in the country committed crimes against the citizens and violated the human rights will be held accountable for their crimes through imposition of the law," SUNA quoted al-Bashir as saying. He said the government would not negotiate with the outlaws outside the country, adding that those who want peace must return to the country.
