ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) - Six African countries have given written pledges to contribute more than 12,000 troops to an African Union-United Nations peacekeeping force in Sudan's Darfur, a senior African Union official said Monday.
Pledges received from Egypt, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Malawi and Senegal amount to 12,800 troops, said Mahmoud Kane, head of the African Union's Darfur Integrated Task Force.
"We believe it is a positive response from Africa," said Kane.
