حديث البشير عن اتفاق مع العدل والمساواة دعاية انتخابية

Quote: from: Daily Press Briefing Washington, DC February 17, 2010 By: Mark C. Toner Acting Deputy Department Spokesman 1- QUESTION: Several dozen Darfur activist groups have written to President Obama asking him to fire Scott Gration. I’m wondering if the – and to have the Secretary play a stronger role in overseeing whoever becomes the – whoever becomes the new one. And I wonder if you – if the Secretary has faith in what Gration’s been doing up to now. MR. TONER: Well, the fact that he’s actually in the region visiting Chad and Sudan I think speaks to the last question, and that’s where he is. I’m not sure, in fact, where he is – in fact, today, I believe in Juba. But he’s there, he’s on the ground in support of improved relations between Chad and Sudan. And he’s also working to advance the remaining issues of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. So yes is the short answer to your question. QUESTION: Yes, they have confidence in him? MR. TONER: Yes. 2- QUESTION: Can we go back to Envoy Gration? MR. TONER: Sure. QUESTION: There have been some reports that in a recent meeting with kind of Darfuri expatriates, that he kind of sympathized with the Government of Sudan and said that the Government of Sudan never meant to kill any civilians and that they were really just trying to kill the rebels and they inadvertently kind of killed the civilians, indicating that they were collateral damage and kind of totally just dismissed the whole idea of genocide. And so just back to the question of whether the Secretary has confidence in him, it sounds like, repeatedly, this envoy that was appointed by the President and Secretary Clinton has gone off the reservation and said things that are completely antithetical to U.S. policy. MR. TONER: Look, you’re presenting me with details of a meeting that I wasn’t present at, that – and I don’t have any kind of transcript in front of me. I have no idea what he said. I do know that he enjoys the Secretary’s confidence. He’s in the region. He’s pursuing both improved relationships between Chad and Sudan as well as trying to move the process forward on the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. But I really don’t have more than -- QUESTION: Well, does that include kind of making light of all of the killings in Darfur over the last few years? MR. TONER: I just – I don’t – I can’t speak to that, I’m sorry. Sorry.
