Sudan for reasonable U.N. stand

London: Sudan is hoping for a `reasonable' Security Council decision on sanctions, its Foreign Minister said on Monday, as the deadline for compliance with U.N. demands expired. The Security Council had given Sudan 30 days to show it was serious about disarming Arab militias engaged in a conflict with black farmers that has seen at least 50,000 deaths and created more than a million refugees, according to the U.N. "We wish ... the relationship with the Security Council will not be the way of confrontation," said the Foreign Minister, Mustafa Ismail, in a television interview.
