From what I've heard, the AU is campaigning to get the mission transfered to a UN mission (with the AU forces still making up a significant amount of the mission), but because the UNSC is unwilling to go in without Sudan's consent, the AU has had to repeatedly extend its mandate. Maybe I'm only hearing part of the story, but I haven't heard anything from the AU saying they don't want the UN's involvement.
