US president discusses Darfur with UNSC members
June 25, 2008 (WASHINGTON) – The US president George Bush met with UN Security Council (UNSC) representatives at the White House today.
The US assumed the rotating presidency of the UNSC for the month of June.
Washington has grown increasingly frustrated with the slow pace of deploying peacekeepers to Darfur and recently appeared to throw the blame on the UN for the delay.
Last week Bush’s special envoy to Sudan Richard Williamson voiced disappointment at the UN secretariat for failing to move quickly on the deployment of peacekeepers to Darfur.
Williamson has yet to meet with Bush following his return from Khartoum after declaring that normalization dialogue with the Sudanese government has been suspended over failing to bridge differences between the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) and Sudan People Liberation Movement (SPLM) over the oil rich region of Abyei.

I don’t think Bush’s envoy “Richard” or Washington administration itself were genuine about their peace talks with the government. His sudden exit from the negotiations caught everyone by suprise.
