UN Licence To Kill…

…besitzt der Sudan:

The humanitarian situation in Sudan’s Darfur region is as bad now as when the conflict came to the world’s attention in 2004, the top UN aid official says.
Jan Egeland told the BBC that aid workers in Darfur were “in retreat” from attacks by armed groups, a funding shortfall and government obstacles.

He said that 500,000 people of the 3m who needed help were “out of reach”.

The US says a genocide is being committed against Darfur’s black African population.

Und die US tut nichts. Was aber immer noch nicht so schlimm ist wie dies:

The two powers [China und Russland –gbg], joined by Qatar [Allah weiss warum –gbg], used their position on a UN sanctions committee to block the imposition of a UN travel ban and asset freeze on four unnamed Sudanese, including one government official, proposed by Britain.

Und das ist ja die Spitze des Eisberges, den die UN dort unterhält.

    Und die USA haben ihre Position genutzt um die Briten zu blocken:

    Reuters AlertNet – US against sanctions on Sudan officials -diplomats
    “UNITED NATIONS, April 5 (Reuters) – The United States is opposing the inclusion of any Sudanese official on a potential U.N. Security Council sanctions list of individuals blocking peace in Darfur, two diplomats said on Wednesday.

    Britain and other nations on a council sanctions committee have recommended a list of eight names of people including some government officials who would be subject to a travel ban and an assets freeze. All 15 council nations have to approve.”

    From Bolton Watch:
    “If you want to understand the how the Bush administration can score political points while taking a minimalist approach to the crisis in Darfur, observe how the press reacts to Ambassador John Bolton’s forthcoming disclosure of the names of four individuals slated for Security Council sanctions for their role in the atrocities there. As I write, the Security Council is discussing these sanctions, and by disclosing these names Bolton is trying to force Russia and China into going public with their objections. Says Bolton today, “These are people who are involved in atrocities and killing people and turning people into refugees.”

    What Bolton will likely not say is that of those four, only one is a Sudanese government official, and a mid-level official at that. He will not advertise that at American insistence the list of four was whittled down from a list of eight names generated by the UK. According to reports two weeks ago, when the US saw the list of names circulated by the UK, they objected to the inclusion of Sudanese government officials on the list.” http://boltonwatch.tpmcafe.com/node/28963
