Sudan doubts over Darfur peacekeeping probe

Sudan insisted that African countries have offered enough troops for a peacekeeping force in Darfur despite UN concerns that the mission will not be effective without contributions from outside the continent.

Foreign ministers and other top diplomats from 26 countries met at the United Nations to promote an agreement on the composition of the 26,000-member peacekeeping force, and give political momentum to October 27 peace talks in Libya between Darfur’s rebels and the Sudanese government.
