KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) - Sudan's ruling party rejected a proposal to transfer peacekeeping in the troubled Darfur region from a weak African force to a larger and stronger U.N. mission, saying that would put the nation under the control of foreign powers, official media reported Thursday.
The Bush administration said it will send a senior envoy to Sudan in hopes of winning the government's consent for the deployment of U.N. peacekeepers in Darfur.
"We cannot let the violence and atrocities continue. We cannot let humanitarian workers and peacekeepers continue to come under attack," Assistant Secretary of State Jendayi Frazer said in announcing plans to fly to Sudan on Friday.
