Refugees from Darfur are appealing to the international community to send a UN peacekeeping force to Darfur to end the raping and slaughtering of civilians in that region. African Union to bolster Darfur peacekeeping force, but Sudan's leaders fiercely opposed such a move and the AU agreed to stay on until at least the end of the year. "We are being asked to assume a broader and broader mission, but we need the means to do so," Monique Mukaruliza, acting head of the AU mission in Sudan, told The Associated Press.

AU leaders are finalizing plans to add 1,200 soldiers to the existing force, officials said. Even more soldiers could come if NATO provided adequate logistics support and the Arab League and other international donors provided funding, the officials said. The Arab League recently backed Sudan's opposition to the Aug. 31 U.N. Security Council resolution calling for 20,000 U.N.-commanded soldiers to take over peacekeeping in Darfur.

AU officials said the bloc's peacekeepers also intend to broaden their rules of engagement so they can protect civilians more efficiently. By ALFRED de M0NTESQUI0U The Associated Press KHARTOUM, Sudan The African Union said Sunday it will send more peacekeeping troops to Sudan's Darfur region and toughen the soldiers' role in protecting civilians while the international community pressures the Sudanese government to allow a U.N. military force. The underfunded and ill-equipped AU force has had little success in halting ethnic fighting that has killed at least 200,000 people and chased 2.5 million from their homes the past three years. Aid groups say continued fighting is making a humanitarian disaster even worse.

The war pits Arab militiamen allied with the Arab-dominated national government in Khartoum against ethnic Africans who rebelled in a long-standing dispute over land and water in the arid region. The AU mission was scheduled to wrap up at the end of September and be replaced by a larger U.N.

NATO troops, mostly from Canada and Britain, moved into southern Afghanistan earlier this summer, taking over from a U.S.-led force in a region that in recent months has seen some of the fiercest fighting since the Taliban regime was defeated in late 2001. British Prime Minister Tony Blair, whose country has about 5,000 soldiers in southern Hel-mand province, said Sunday that NATO's battle with Afghan insurgents has been more difficult than anticipated but must continue. "I think the particular mission was tougher than anyone expected. But I'm not surprised it was tough," Blair said in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corp.

He said the Taliban and al-Qaida are trying hard to gain control in Afghanistan's south and "it's essential for us to keep them out." "SP nme TV Mon Thurs, 7pm Tues.
