Washington, October 31, SPA -- President George W. Bush on Tuesday called on the United Nations to “get moving” on deploying a joint U.N.-African Union (AU) peacekeeping force to Sudan’s Darfur region. Bush told visiting Ugandan President Yaweri Museveni that he had discussed the conflict with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and urged him to “get moving those troops into the Darfur region as quickly as possible.” “Of course we discussed … the [peace] agreement between south and north of Sudan, and our desire is to make sure we implement that agreement,” Bush added as he met with Museveni at the White House. U.N. and AU officials are scheduled to travel to Darfur this week to try to convince key rebel leaders to join peace talks aimed at resolving the crisis in Darfur, the AU said Monday.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/495304
