Washington, NOV. 10, SPA -- The United States said Thursday it was considering compromises on the composition of an international peacekeeping force for Darfur after Sudan rejected demands for deployment of U.N. troops. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Washington still wants United Nations “involvement” in the Darfur peacekeeping force, but he did not reiterate past U.S. insistence that the peacekeepers be deployed under the U.N. banner.“We’re taking a look at how we can address the various concerns that have come up from the Sudanese government, as well as others in the region, about the nature of this international force,” McCormack told reporters.“This is not in any way to compromise on the need for this force and the need for an effective international force that would have U.N. involvement as central to it,” McCormack said. Discussions on the potential composition of the force were continuing at the United Nations and bilaterally with countries in the region, notably Arab states, McCormack said.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/401970
