UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Ashraf Qazi, the top U.N. envoy in Iraq, is tipped to be the next U.N. representative in Sudan if the government approves, diplomats said Wednesday.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon submitted Qazi's name to the Sudanese government about two weeks ago, the diplomats said, speaking on condition of anonymity because no announcement has been made.
Ban will arrive in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, on Monday as part of a trip to promote a political solution to the conflict in Darfur and the diplomats said there is pressure for a new envoy to be named before he gets there.
