Ahmed Harun, the governor of Sudan's Southern Kordofan, has been filmed addressing troops before a battle with rebel fighters urging them to "take no prisoners".

He apparently condones war crimes in orders to the Sudanese army.

Rabi Abdel Atti, a senior adviser to Sudan's information ministry, spoke to Al Jazeera about the video footage, saying Harun's comments were "not interpreted correctly".
