?In Darfur, it would be better to help the Sudanese get over the crisis so their country is pacified rather than sanctions which would push them back to their misdeeds of old,? junior Foreign Minister Renaud Muselier told French radio.
France led opposition to US moves at the UN over Iraq. As was the case in Iraq, it also has significant oil interests in Sudan.
Mr Muselier also dismissed claims of ?ethnic cleansing? or genocide in Darfur.
?I firmly believe it is a civil war and as they are little villages of 30, 40, 50, there is nothing easier than for a few armed horsemen to burn things down, to kill the men and drive out the women,? he said.
So there you have it, you have a massive humanitarian crisis on your hands where an arab government is murdering the Africans in the South with planes and bombs then sending in Janjaweed Militias to kill the rest off and what does the French Government do? Say that sanctions are a bad idea and that it isn't ethnic clensing just war. I do like the call for the African Sudanese to be "pacified", I do wonder if such Orwellian doublespeak really means genocide. The oil interests by the French in the Sudan show me at least the true villlainly within the UN Security Council. I think this is where multilateralism could accomplish so much but will be unable to because of all the special interest BS that is going to cost many lives.
