UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The U.N. chief has called on the Sudanese military to remove troops remaining in southern Sudan, expressing disappointment that a July 9 deadline was not met as called for in a 2005 peace deal.
In a report to the U.N. Security Council circulated Thursday, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also said the formation of joint military units comprising government soldiers from the north and former rebels from the south is significantly behind schedule.
He lamented that supposedly integrated units are operating separately, under different chains of command. One result, Ban said, has been continuing instability in some areas.
