Mother breast feeding children in camp\u003cbr/\u003eThe bloodshed in Sudan's western Darfur region dominated an African Union summit on Monday, undermining Sudan's bid to lead the continental bloc as the UN secretary general condemned the scorched-earth policies there.\u003cbr/\u003eWith Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir looking on, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said \"the toll of the crisis remains unacceptable.\" \u003cbr/\u003eMore than 200,000 people have been killed and 2.5 (m) million displaced since 2003. \u003cbr/\u003eKi-moon called on African leaders to end the deadlock created by Sudan's refusal to allow UN peacekeepers into Darfur.\u003cbr/\u003eHours later, in a further humiliation to al-Bashir, the African Union (AU) chose Ghana to head the 53-member bloc, turning aside Sudan's bid for the second year in a row.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Ghana has been elected as president of the African Union by a general consensus on the same year that Ghana celebrates 50 years of independence,\" Alpha Oumar Konare, the AU's chief executive, told reporters. \u003cbr/\u003eKonare said Sudan supported the decision, but Sudanese leaders had been adamant - even up to Sunday evening - that they deserved the rotating chairmanship.\u003cbr/\u003eInstead of calming, Darfur's violence in recent months has spilled into neighbouring Chad and Central African Republic. \u003cbr/\u003eRebel leaders in the Sudanese region have said they would stop considering the current AU peacekeeping mission as an honest broker there if Sudan was selected.\u003cbr/\u003eInternational organisations have opposed Sudan leading the AU, accusing the Sudanese government of taking part in the Darfur conflict. \u003cbr/\u003eDarfur has been spiralling out of control since rebels took up arms against the central government in 2003. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We really have to put the pressure on all the people, on all the parties, the rebels, also the Janjaweed, the government ,all these people,\" Louis Michel, EU commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid, said on the sidelines of the summit.\u003cbr/\u003eSudan's government is accused of retaliating indiscriminately against civilians and supporting janjaweed paramilitary groups blamed for some of the worst atrocities in the conflict. \u003cbr/\u003eSudan's government denies the allegations.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Sudanese government signed a peace agreement with one Darfur rebel faction in May, but violence has only worsened. \u003cbr/\u003eSudan and Chad also have been trading accusations of supporting each others' rebel groups. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We're concerned about a military build up in southern Darfur and the bombings in northern Darfur,\" the US state department's envoy for Africa, Jendayi Frazier told reporters.\u003cbr/\u003eFrazier also expressed support for a joint AU-UN force for Darfur. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I had a chance to speak with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, as well as Chairman Konare, and those two institutions coming together  - to really move forward, to expedite the timeline to get this hybrid force on the ground,\" she said.\u003cbr/\u003eAl-Bashir has opposed a UN Security Council resolution that calls for some 22,000 UN peacekeepers to replace or absorb an African force. \u003cbr/\u003eThe AU has 7,000 peacekeepers struggling to end the fighting.\u003cbr/\u003eLate Monday in Khartoum, Sadiq, the Foreign Ministry's spokesman, said Sudan had agreed to cooperate on a \"hybrid force\" for Darfur, including UN troops.\u003cbr/\u003eBut he said no final agreement on the troop numbers had been reached, although AU and UN officials say the United Nations could be sending as many as 10,000 to 15,000. \u003cbr/\u003eSadiq said UN troops could begin deploying in July.\u003cbr/\u003eSudan has in the past reneged on agreements to allow the UN in, and al-Bashir - who has the final say on such matters - was not immediately available for comment on Monday.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton
