Sudan: SPLM rejects South Kordofan win for Ahmed Haroun

Sudan's former rebels have rejected the election victory of Ahmed Haroun, indicted for alleged war crimes committed in Darfur.

He has been declared the winner of the governorship poll in the oil-rich South Kordofan state, which borders potential flashpoints Darfur and South Sudan.

South Sudan is set to become independent in July, while civil war is still raging in Darfur.

Analysts fear the dispute could spark yet another conflict in Sudan.

The International Criminal Court accuses Mr Haroun of mobilising Arab militias to commit genocide against black African residents of Darfur when he was the minister there in 2003-4. He has denied any wrong-doing.

President Omar al-Bashir is also wanted on similar charges....
