 EL FASHER, Sudan (AP) - The head of the European Commission urged Sudan's president on Sunday to help the African Union keep peace in the troubled Darfur region and end the obstacles hampering the work of humanitarian groups there.
On a visit to the war-torn region, Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso also announced a pledge of more than $50 million in aid from Europe amid mounting international pressure on the Sudanese government to accept a U.N. peacekeeping force in Darfur.
"The humanitarian tragedy here is unlike any others," Barroso told The Associated Press in an interview in the North Darfur capital of El Fasher. "Here, almost everybody is fighting everybody."
