Sudan Accepts UN Help NOT Force in Darfur

A BBC article has the following (hat tip: Black Kush)

President Omar al-Bashir told state TV: “The government of Sudan welcomes all financial, material, logistic or technical assistance from the UN in order to strengthen the AU mission in Darfur.”

His Foreign Minister Lam Akol specified that “there should be no talk about a mixed force”.

He told the BBC there would be no UN troops.

Following a meeting on Darfur in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, Mr Annan had said: “The troops should be sourced from Africa as far as possible and the command and control structure would be provided by the UN.”

Violence has intensified despite a peace deal in May between the government and one of the Darfur rebel groups.

Meanwhile, Sudanese Defence Minister Abdel Rahim Mohamed Hussein said Darfur would become an “invaders’ graveyard” if a UN peacekeeping force was sent there.

UN humanitarian chief Jan Egeland has cut short his trip to Darfur after Sudan’s government told him it would be too dangerous for him to travel outside the region’s major towns.

Funny. I thought they’ve been telling the whole world that Darfur is so damn safe now and that only 10,000 people died so far. You damn filthy Christian Westerners and piggy apes Jews. You’re all bloody liars!

    You mean Darfur *isn’t* safe? What a shock.

    No man don’t cancel it. You can still visit Meroe or come and chill in my house. It sure is much safer there :)

    PS: if you do come, don’t forget to to bring those plants I saw in your blog last time.

    Salam

    You live in Sudan?

    in anycase, you are right darfur is most definatly the shame of the Muslim world. i literally get sick to my stomach everytime I hear the stories and see the pictures. My condolences friend. Inshallah these kuffar, these animals these “Janjaweed” will be brought to justice. It is absolutly disgusting that not one nation in the Muslim world has sent troops to fight these barbarian pigs. The Muslim world is in a apathtic hypocritical slumber.
