UNSC adjusts priorities on Darfur
 

United Nations, April 4 (IANS/WAM) The UN Security Council has endorsed Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's revised strategic priorities for the joint African Union-UN mission in the long-restive Darfur region of western Sudan. Unanimously adopting a new resolution Thursday, the council endorsed the revised priorities for the mission (UNAMID) outlined in Ban's special report on the outcome of a three-phase, inter-agency review carried out last year on the mission's work, its much-changed operating environment and its efforts to achieve its mandate. In that report, the secretary general **ted that the "political and eco**mic marginalization of Darfur by Khartoum continues to fuel the armed rebellion," while inter-communal violence has increased. Further, the political environment in and around Sudan has changed since UNAMID was set up.
