Bush Wants Cargo Planes to Aid Sudan By Associated Press October 18, 2004, 9:58 PM EDT BOCA RATON, Fla. -- President Bush on Monday told the Pentagon to make two U.S. transport planes available to aid African peacekeeping forces seeking to end a humanitarian crisis in the Darfur region of western Sudan. A White House statement issued as Bush campaigned in Florida, said the president had directed Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to make the planes available to the African Union, or AU, for two weeks, starting at the end of October. The military planes will help transport fresh troops that part of a 4,500-soldier contingent to be deployed to Darfur by the African Union by the end of next month. "The United States is working with other international partners ... to support the AU expansion of the mission," said the White House statement. The first 1,000 additional troops are expected to come from Rwanda and Nigeria. The troops will help "intensify monitoring of the cease-fire and help create conditions to increase the free flow of humanitarian assistance," the statement said. The United Nations and aid groups have called Darfur the world's worst humanitarian crisis. The Darfur conflict, originally a clash between African farmers and Arab nomads, has grown into a counterinsurgency in which pro-government Arab militia have raped, killed and burned the villages of their enemy.
