Chinese Envoy Arrives in Sudan: China To Send More Than 200 Troops To Darfur
Good on the Chinese government for stepping up and trying to play a positive role in Darfur. It looks like the “Genocide Olympics” movement and the international pressure on China might be starting to show some positive results.
June 22, 2007 (KHARTOUM) — China will send more than 200 troops to Sudan’s Darfur region to help a joint African Union-United Nations peacekeeping force, its special envoy said in Khartoum on Friday.
“The government is planning to send 275 multipurpose, multifunction engineering troops to support the second phase of the Annan plan, the heavy support package,” Liu Guijin told reporters in Khartoum, where he will meet President Omar Hassan al-Bashir and Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Karti on Saturday.
Let’s hope China continues to play a positive role in ending the conflict rather than an enabling role.
[…] China is sending more than 200 troops to the joint African Union/United Nations peacekeeping force that will be stationed there. […]
