UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Ethiopia and Bangladesh have offered to jump-start the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Darfur by loaning it helicopters to fly troops and supplies around the vast region in western Sudan, officials said Tuesday.
Ethiopia promised the use of three attack and two transport helicopters, while Bangladesh's offer is less clear, said Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N.
"On helicopters, there is some progress," he told reporters. "We're trying to get to the bottom of what the offer is and what help they might need."
