AU Summit: Sudan unfit for AU Presidency

African leaders rightly rejected Sudan's bid for the African Union's presidency this year, but should not reward Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir with Africa's leadership next year as long as the human rights disaster continues in Darfur, Human Rights Watch said today. The African Union announced today that Congo-Brazzaville would assume the A.U. leadership this year, but would be followed by Sudan in 2007.
