U.N. envoy to Iraq named United Nations representative for Sudan

Excerpt:
"U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon announced the appointment Tuesday of Pakistani diplomat Ashraf Qazi, now the top U.N. envoy to Iraq, as the new United Nations representative in Sudan.

Qazi's appointment came nearly a year after Jan Pronk, the previous U.N. representative in the country, was expelled from Sudan by the government for his comments on the violence in the western Darfur region."
