Abd Al-Wahed Muhammad Nur, head of the Sudan Liberation Army, an influential Darfur rebel organization, has expressed reservations about British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's initiative for a Darfur peace conference in the U.K.
Nur called on Britain to send forces to Darfur to protect the uprooted people there, saying it was responsible for the situation in Darfur because of its colonialist past in the region,.
He also denied that the U.K. had informed him of anything concerning the conference.
