 UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The United States will seek a U.N. Security Council vote next week on a resolution to impose the first-ever sanctions on participants in the Darfur conflict in western Sudan, U.S. officials said Friday.
The United States will push ahead with the bid to sanction four men, despite opposition from Russia and China, said Richard Grenell, spokesman for the U.S. mission to the United Nations.
Russia and China say that the sanctions might complicate Darfur peace talks in Abuja, Nigeria, where negotiators are working to beat an April 30 deadline.
