Turkish FM Expected in Darfur

The United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Kofi Annan, US Secretary of State Colin Powell, French Foreign Minister Michel Barnier and German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer have all visited the Darfur region. Jack Straw, from Great Britain, has visited twice.

Meanwhile, Altereifi Ahmed Kormino, Sudanese Ambassador in Ankara, said that the Darfur region is complex and the current problems are nothing new. According to Kormino, Darfur is twice as big as France and less populated than Ankara. "To solve the problems," said Kormino, "The world has to make constructive contributions. However, the interventions we witness today create a deeper problem."
