UN Adviser: China must do more on Darfur

China must do more to stop the Darfur conflict in Sudan, said former UN aid chief Jan Egeland, while the United States should focus on trying to build peace between the Palestinians and Israel.

Egeland, now a special adviser to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, also said he spent too much time in Washington instead of Beijing as he tried to draw attention to Darfur while he was UN emergency relief coordinator. "Darfur - I don't think the United States can unlock. In the Palestinian conflict I think they can," he told the Council on Foreign Relations in New York on Tuesday. (Reuters)
