Sudan Not to Chair AU

Sudan has been stopped from assuming the leadership of the African Union by other African nations.

This can hardly be seen as a victory as it was preposterous that it had ever been promised to them in the first place. Apparently the terms they were given last year was that they needed to make progress "progress in bringing peace to Darfur".

That's a pretty low standard for leadership. "Try not to kill anyone for a little while and we'll put you in charge."
