Gaddafi: Oil behind Darfur crisis

Muammar Gaddafi has accused the West of trying to grab Sudan’s oil wealth with its plan to send UN troops to Darfur.

The Libyan president, a mediator in several African wars, was echoing Sudanese criticisms of the proposed deployment as a Western attempt at colonisation.

Gaddafi also urged the Khartoum government to reject the proposal.
