UNITED NATIONS, July 31 - The UN Security Council is set to renew a mandate for peacekeepers in Sudan’s war-ravaged Darfur region on Thursday in a resolution calling for redoubled efforts to end a five-year humanitarian disaster.
The 15 council members struck a deal on a revised British draft resolution after Western powers agreed to include wording that echoes African Union concerns that International Criminal Court moves to indict Sudan’s President Omar Hassan al-Bashir for war crimes could derail the fragile Darfur peace process.
