John Garang |
In an interview with VOA in Washington Wednesday, Mr. Garang said his Sudan People Liberation Army (SPLA) would be deployed alongside African Union troops.
The two-and-half year conflict in Darfur between mainly local rebels and pro-government militias has killed 180,000 people and displaced about two million others.
Mr. Garang's rebel group and the Sudanese government in Khartoum signed a peace accord in January ending more than 20 years of civil war.
Under the accord Mr. Garang becomes first vice president of Sudan's national government.
