 ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) - Bloodshed in Sudan's Darfur region dominated the African Union summit Monday, undermining Sudan's bid to lead the bloc as the U.N. chief said scorched-earth military policies are "a terrifying feature of life" in the vast, arid area.
With Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir looking on, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that "the toll of the crisis remains unacceptable," with more than 200,000 people killed and 2.5 million displaced in four years of fighting.
He called on African leaders to end the deadlock created by Sudan's refusal to allow U.N. peacekeepers into Darfur.
