UN not asked to broker deal

The African Union has rejected calls for negotiations on reaching peace in Darfur to be handed over to the UN, saying the deal will not be held hostage by recalcitrant factions.

The AU spokesperson in Khartoum, Noureddine Mezni, said: "We can't hold the Darfur peace agreement hostage to those who did not sign; we have to go ahead and start implementation because the situation in Darfur can't wait." - AFP
