Darfur update


African nations have pledged enough troops for Darfur's 26,000-strong peacekeeping force and non-Africans are not needed, the African Union's top diplomat Alpha Oumar Konare said.


Here's an interesting part of this article... Darfur rebel Justice and Equality Movement spokesman Ahmed Hussein Adam said, "The nationality of the troops is very important.
