"The United States has sent four military planners to help the United Nations map out a Darfur mission to take over the underfinanced African Union, which has 7,000 troops and monitors in the vast western region of Sudan.
Bolton said that while the United Nations had begun contingency planning 'a lot more could be done.'"
"Bolton has distributed what he called "elements of a resolution" to the other 14 Security Council members outlining the duties of future peacekeepers in Darfur, rather than awaiting the result of U.N. planning."
Wow, I'm impressed by this. Kudos to the US federal government, they look like they really are committed to ending violence in Darfur. Hopefully Bolton can help cut through the bureaucracy and the Security Council can pass a resolution soon.
