From BBC News (link):
Russia and China say they will oppose UN sanctions against four Sudanese officials accused of involvement in continuing violence in Darfur.
Russia’s UN envoy said the Security Council should delay sanctions until Sudan’s talks with Darfur rebels reach an African Union deadline of 30 April.
The Chinese UN envoy also said the time was not right for the measures proposed by the UK and the US.
Some 2m people have fled their homes in Darfur in what the US says is genocide.
