A news report in Sudan Tribune today says Libyan leader, Colonel Gadhafi proposes the deployment along the Sudan Chad borders of 3,000 soldiers from the current AU force in Darfur to close these borders in the face of the rebels from both sides and prevent infiltration and shifting of arms from one side into the other.
In a statement to Sudanese TV, Gadhafi said he had presented his initiative to the Chadian and Sudanese presidents.
"I am hoping that a summit between the concerned countries, which called for by the chairman of the African Union be convened before the African Union summit in Khartoum" he further added.
Regarding Darfur, the Libyan leader said "it is a Sudanese internal problem" which "has no connection with the problem outside Sudan".
African countries should help in the financing of these forces he said.
[If African countires can afford to finance 3,000 AU soldiers from Darfur, why have they not provided more troops for Darfur?]
