Associated Press: Security Council to Focus on African Hotspots. The U.N. Security Council is heading to Africa for a series of meetings and visits focusing on the continent's hotspots -- the war in Darfur and its spillover into neighboring Chad, fighting in Somalia and efforts to bring peace to eastern Congo. Ambassadors and diplomats from the 15 council nations will begin the eight-day, four-nation trip in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on Friday evening. While Darfur is a prime topic on the agenda of a meeting Saturday with the African Union in Addis Ababa, the Security Council is skipping Sudan this year. Britain's U.N. Ambassador John Sawers said it wasn't ''appropriate'' to stop there after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir in March on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur. ''We're not going to meet with someone who is an indicted war criminal,'' he said. The council is going to discuss the political, humanitarian and security challenges in Darfur and the spillover of the conflict into neighboring Chad with the AU Peace and Security Council.
