Obama: “My administration will work to ensure that UNAMID has the necessary training and equipment—especially helicopter support—to ensure the full mobility and effectiveness of UNAMID troops.” • Both men agree, in strong terms, that the Sudanese government has been the primary obstacle to a more effective UN force. Obama calls for stiffer sanctions on Sudan, and McCain acknowledges the need for UNAMID to have sufficient airlift and aerial patrol capabilities. With an existing 2005 North-South peace deal, the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, or CPA, in Sudan turning wobbly, and Darfur still in flames, the candidates were asked how they would promote a lasting peace for all of Sudan

Barack Obama: “I will make ending the genocide in Darfur a priority from Day One. It is a collective stain on our national and human conscience that the genocide in Sudan, now starting its sixth year, has gone on for far too long.” • Both men express support for enforcing a no-fly zone over Darfur. McCain suggests that NATO could play a role in enforcing the no-fly zone, while Obama suggests he would “work with international partners,” including NATO, to do so

Obama’s choice of Biden as VP is Sudan’s NCP worst nightmare
August 24, 2008 (WASHINGTON) – The Sudanese ruling National Congress Party (NCP) are likely to be very concerned by Barack Obama’s pick of Senator Joe Biden as his running mate.
The Democratic presidential contender made the announcement of Biden as his Vice President over the weekend ending weeks of speculation.
The NCP considers the Democratic Party generally hostile to them let alone a figure who was strong proponent of military intervention in the war ravaged region of Darfur.
Biden is the chairman of the foreign relations committee at the US senate and presided over many hearings discussing the situation in Darfur.
In April 2007 the aspiring presidential VP said that “it’s time to put force on the table and use it”.
Biden said that senior US military NATO officials in Europe told him that 2,500 U.S. troops could “radically change the situation on the ground [in Darfur]”.
The Delaware senator was also a co-sponsor for a resolution asking for a no-fly zone over Darfur and Sudan Divestment Authorization Act.
“It is within our power to clip their wings. Yes, a no fly zone could make it more difficult for humanitarian groups to operate – so we should do everything possible to design it with their concerns in mind” Biden said last year.
“This is incredible what is happening and I promise you, we will all going to sit here 5-10 years from now and ask ourselves why didn’t we do the things we can do? “ he told the former US special envoy to Sudan Andrew Natsios in a hearing last year.
In September 2004 the US, in a unilateral move, officially labeled the conflict in Darfur as genocide.
Khartoum denies genocide and blames the Western media for exaggerating the four-year-old Darfur conflict. European governments are reluctant to use the term. (ST)
