UNITED NATIONS, April 23 (Reuters) – U.N. Secretary-General

Ban Ki-moon condemned Sudan’s bombardment of a market in the

capital of South Sudan’s oil-producing Unity State on Monday and

urged Khartoum to stop fighting.

“The Secretary-General condemns the aerial bombardment on

South Sudan by Sudanese Armed Forces and calls on the Government

of Sudan to cease all hostilities immediately,” Ban’s press

office said in a statement.

“(Ban) reiterates that there can be no military solution to

the disputes between Sudan and South Sudan,” it said.
