Nji Che - All Headline News Contributor
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (AHN) - The African Union (AU) issued a statement on Monday to announce its plan to request for a U.N. sanction against Darfur's defiant rebel groups. The statement said the AU is ready to request U.N. sanctions if these two rebel groups play down the peace agreement intended to stop three years of fighting in Chad's Darfur region. Current African Union commission chairman, Alpha Oumar Konare said, "Should they embark on any action or measure likely to undermine the Darfur peace agreement, especially the cease-fire provisions, the Council should take appropriate measures against them including by requesting the U.N. Security Council to impose sanctions against them."
