Denise Royal - All Headline News Staff Writer
Khartoum, Sudan (AHN) - Sudan appears to have taken the first step towards a United Nations mission being deployed in Darfur, under intense international pressure. The UN says it has reached an agreement with the government for an assessment team to be sent to the troubled region. After meeting Sudan's president, UN envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said the mission would assess requirements for the possible arrival of UN peacekeepers. However, Sudan has still not agreed to the deployment of a UN force. The assessment team of UN and African Union officials will work out the logistics of the proposed deployment of peacekeepers.
