KHARTOUM - Bodies have lined the streets in Sudan's western Darfur region as the UN said Tuesday that more than two months of fighting have forced over 2.5 million people from their homes.

A three-day ceasefire due to end Wednesday at dawn brought a brief respite to the capital Khartoum, gripped by the war that erupted on April 15 between two rival generals.
