ADDIS ABABA, Jan 29 (Reuters) - The African Union agreed on Monday that Ghana would lead the organisation for the next year after widespread opposition to Sudan emerged because of the Darfur crisis, the AU's top diplomat said.

AU commission head Alpha Oumar Konare told reporters Ghanaian President John Kufuor would be the AU's chair for the next year. "By consensus it is President Kufuor," he said.
