African Union Sudan mission needs Intl help – Oxfam

Nov 9, 2005 (KHARTOUM) — U.K. charity Oxfam said Wednesday that the African Union peacekeeping mission in Darfur needed help from the international community.

“If the African Union mission in Sudan does not receive the financial and logistical means to fully implement its mandate and take its troops to their full strength, the international community is setting the African Union up for failure and turning its back on Darfur,” Malcolm Fleming, of Oxfam in Scotland, said after a visit to Darfur .
