| [An Nahar] Three Æthiopian peacekeepers were killed Thursday in an attack in Sudan's troubled Darfur region, the joint U.N.-African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... mission said, the latest deaths in increasingly dangerous peace operations in Africa. They were guarding a well in Karma, North Darfur state, when they were attacked by gunnies, who fled afterwards, the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... -African Union Mission in Darfur said. Two of them were killed in the attack and the third, gravely maimed, died later. |
