Darfur update


The United Nations is short of aviation, transport and logistic personnel necessary for the functioning of a new force of up to 26,000 troops and police in Sudan's Darfur region, according to a report issued Thursday.


The report was issued by Ban Ki-Moon, who said the Aug. 31 deadline for troop contributors would have to be extended because "offers are still lacking for some critical military capabilities."
