Rwanda Troops Airlifted to Start AU Mission in Darfur

By Finbarr O'Reilly

KIGALI (Reuters) - Rwandan troops were airlifted on Sunday to Sudan's Darfur as the first foreign force there, mandated to protect observers monitoring a cease-fire between the Sudanese government and rebels in the troubled western region.

Some 154 Rwandan troops and military equipment were being sent to Darfur at the weekend as part of an African Union (AU) force. Rwandan President Paul Kagame said Saturday his soldiers would also intervene to protect civilians in danger.
