Annan joins Powell in Sudan visit
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan flew to Sudan today for a firsthand look at what his officials are calling the world’s worst humanitarian crisis in the violence-torn Darfur region.
He joins US Secretary of State Colin Powell on an unusually high-powered visit to press the Sudanese government to end a 16-month conflict that has killed up to 30,000 people, driven more than a million from their homes and left more than two million in desperate need of aid.
