'Tiny' window open for UN troops in Darfur: UN envoy

[oberliner]

KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudan has left a 'tiny' window open for negotiation on accepting U.N. troops in its violent Darfur region, the top U.N. envoy in Khartoum said on Wednesday.

Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir has refused international demands for a U.N. force in Darfur, saying it would be used as a front for the colonial ambitions of the United States and attract attacks by Islamic militants.

Jan Pronk, the U.N.'s top envoy in Sudan, told reporters on Wednesday that Foreign Minister Lam Akol had told international donors in Brussels earlier this month that no decision had been made on the issue.
