The African Union has called on Sudan to speed up plans for a new AU/UN peace force in Darfur where five Senegalese soldier were killed on Sunday.
So far, Sudan has blocked attempts to strengthen the AU force with UN troops.
AU commission head Alpha Oumar Konare said he was greatly concerned by the increasing number of attacks on the 7,000 AU peacekeepers in the region.
The weekend attack was the heaviest single loss the force has suffered since it was first deployed in 2004.
