Fighting in Sudan’s Darfur region has increased since a peace deal was signed two months ago, the head of the United Nations mission in Sudan has said.

Jan Pronk said people had been given distorted information about the deal, meaning it had not won popular support.

Only one of the rebel groups signed it and all deadlines for implementing the agreement have so far been missed.

The insecurity has meant the estimated 2m people displaced in the three-year conflict are unwilling to go home.
