مبعوث الرئيس الأمريكي وصل الفاشر اليوم!!!

Quote: QUESTION: Do you have anything on -- we have a report that Sudanese Janjaweed militia have allied with Chadian rebels and launched attacks on villages inside Chad killing -- over the last two weeks killing more than 100 people and displacing more than 3,000 people. Do you have anything on that? MR. CASEY: Arshad, I did try and look into this a little bit before the briefing. I don’t have confirmation of a lot of the details in that report. Certainly, though, we've been concerned about the conditions along the border area with Chad. We want to make sure that all parties involved do not do anything to promote or facilitate violence. There are, as you know, concerns about large populations of refugees in the area. One of the things that's important about getting a comprehensive settlement, not only to Darfur but more broadly in Sudan, is that what happens in Sudan does have an impact on neighboring countries. And I think we've seen that in the kinds of reports that you're referring to here. Andrew Natsios, as you know, is actually in Sudan right now. I believe he is, in fact, in Al Fasher in Darfur today. And certainly the strong message that he is sending in all his meetings with Sudanese Government officials and with others is that we need to move forward with the United Nations force in Sudan and that we need to have all parties that signed on board to the Darfur Peace Agreement live up to their commitments and do everything they can to try and end the violence rather than do things that promote it.
