Darfur crisis solution sought by African leaders

Saying they hoped African leaders could solve without sanctions what the UN calls the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, the leaders of Egypt, Chad, Nigeria and Libya discussed the crisis in Sudan’s Darfur region with the Sudanese president.

The “mini-summit” in Libya began late yesterday after the five leaders broke their day-long fast together for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and headed into a well-guarded downtown hotel.
