Sudanese Foreign Minister Mustafa Osman Ismail said Sunday he expected Arab support at political, security and humanitarian levels on the conflict in the western Sudanese region of Darfur. Ismail was speaking after a meeting with his Egyptian counterpart Ahmad Abul Gheit shortly before attending an urgent Arab League session aimed at discussing the conflict in Darfur. The meeting, expected later Sunday, was being attended by several Arab foreign ministers responding to Sudan's call for an urgent meeting on Darfur. Ismail said Sudan expected Arab countries to send humanitarian help "to face the humanitarian crisis in Sudan". "We expect Arab countries to support Sudan on the security issue and help the Sudanese government so it can send Sudanese police and armed forces to secure roads and camps and arrest the rogue elements in Darfur so we can continue securing civilians," Ismail said.
