| Description | Security forces in the Sudanese capital manhandled U.S. officials and reporters traveling with Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice, marring her round of meetings with leaders of the new unified government. Rice demanded an apology, and got it.
"It makes me very angry to be sitting there with their president and have this happen," she said. "They have no right to push and shove."
Rice made her remarks to reporters Thursday after she and her entourage boarded an airplane to fly from the capital to a refugee camp in the Darfur region. At the camp, she said the Sudanese government must prove its promises are credible and she would hold the government to account if it fails to end the refugee crisis.
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the Sudanese foreign minister responded to Rice's demand for an apology by telephoning her aboard the plane to express regret for the incidents at the ultra-high-security residence of Sudanese President Omar el-Bashir. |
