Time to act!
While the news from Darfur indicates renewal of the war, and the massacre, the security council decided today to send international force to secure that fragile peace and the life’s of the survivors. However the decision to send the troops are followed with a condition:
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council on Thursday voted to create a United Nations peacekeeping force in Sudan’s Darfur region, despite the Khartoum government’s strong opposition.
The vote was 12 in favour, with abstentions from Russia, China and Qatar, the only Arab council member.
But the troops will not be deployed until Sudan consents. The United Nations wants to replace and absorb an African Union force in Darfur, which has only enough money to exist until its mandate expires on September 30. It has been unable to halt the humanitarian crisis in the lawless west of the country, which the United States describes as genocide.
Well I’m glad that the UN was established only after WWII, otherwise the UN will wait for Hitler’s permission to send troops to the concentration camps. The pattern is obvious: UNIFIL will not enforce UN resolution 1701 in Lebanon and will not confront the Hezbullah, and UN forces will not land in darfur to stop a genocide in Darfur. Shame on them!
