Plot of transferring AU mandate in Darfur to UN in plan

The English newspaper Sudan Vision accused the American, Jewish organizations and some opposition parties in Sudan of planning to lobby both the AU and the UN for the handover.

"The plot is aimed at putting the Sudanese government before de facto situation," the report said.

Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday summoned Babagana Kingibe, the head of the AU Mission in Sudan (AMIS), to inform him of the government's position asking the 7,300-strong AU forces to leave the country in case that the pan-African body failed to take a decision to extend the mandate.
