 EL FASHER, Sudan (AP) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said Wednesday he was "shocked and humbled" by a visit to a Darfur refugee camp where thousands cheered him as he pledged to step up efforts to bring peace to the war-torn region.
Thousands of refugees at Al Salaam camp in North Darfur chanted "Welcome! Welcome Ban Ki-Moon!" when the U.N. chief entered the camp, home to 46,000 refugees.
"We must bring peace and development. We must protect human rights. We must help all of you return to your homes and lands," Ban told the crowd at a water tower in the camp.
