Hat tip: Sudan Watch.
People, I’m getting real tired of the retarded UN.
Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir said Sudan has taken inspiration from Hezbollah and would battle a proposed international peacekeeping force in Darfur, the state news agency reported today. - AP report (via Easy bourse/Dowjones) Aug 15, 2006 - excerpt:
“We are determined to defeat any forces entering the country just as Hezbollah has defeated the Israeli forces,” the official Sudanese News Agency quoted al-Bashir as telling an armed forces gathering Monday.
Last week, the US repeated its demand for deployment of a strong and mobile UN peacekeeping force in Darfur by Oct 1. The top UN humanitarian official, Jan Egelund, said the situation is “going from real bad to catastrophic” after attempts to enforce a peace deal unleashed more fighting.
“We are opposed to the deployment (in Darfur) of American, British or other forces imposed by the Security Council,” al-Bashir said.
[When is Jan Egeland going to get the message and back the AU?]
Yes, Ingrid I’m wondering the same thing too.
To the UN: For the Kazillionth time, REINFORCE THE AU TROOPS! That’s all you need to do!
Darfur previously = Disaster
Darfur now = Worsening disaster?
Darfur + UN troops = Bigger disaster
Darfur + UN troops + Al Qaeda = One big ass GIGANTIC Disaster !!!
Darfur now = Worsening disaster?
Darfur + UN troops = Bigger disaster
Darfur + UN troops + Al Qaeda = One big ass GIGANTIC Disaster !!!
Darfur + AU troops reinforced by UN & NATO = HUGE improvements.

The reinforcement scenario has to address one important point: who is going to be the commander-in-chief? The UN? NATO? The AU?
Let me assure you nobody is going to let the AU be in charge. NATO will not be lead by the UN, and vice versa.
It’s the old Pershing issue, during World War One. The French and the British wanted Americans to reinforce their armies, but the American General Pershing insisted that the US will only fight as an army of its own, with its own sector, as the US would be more autonomous (which was necessary for domestic American political support for the war).
Darfur could be divided into sectors where each of the three are given responsibility (as the Coalition troops are distributed in Iraq), but someone still has to be in charge and call the shots.
