Africa: Darfur is priority before leaving UN

UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said he would make the killings in Sudan's Darfur region his priority until the day he leaves office on December 31, according to an interview to be aired on Monday (4 December 2006). "It's very tragic and painful, not only (to me) as secretary-general but as a human being and as an African," Annan said.
