UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The top U.N. envoy for Sudan gave a sobering assessment of the shattered country, warning violence was on the rise in the Darfur region and criticizing nations that have not made good on their promises to supply peacekeepers and cash.
Jan Pronk said humanitarian programs have been underfunded by 50 percent for 2005. Though humanitarian and development programs have a budget of $1.9 billion this year, they have received only $950 million.
But the international community's chief fault was getting involved in Sudan too late, he said Wednesday.
