Sanction threat won’t end Darfur crisis
The US Senate majority leader said that the threat of sanctions against Sudan is not enough to stop what he called a campaign of gencide being waged by Arab militiamen in Sudan’s western region of Darfur.
Bill Frist, the Republican senator for the state of Tennessee, also rejected the findings of a European Union fact-finding mission which said there was no evidence of genocide but found that killing in Darfur was widespread. Sudan is under international pressure to meet a Unation Nations deadline expiring in three weeks to prove it is disarming Arab militias or face possible sanctions.
The militiamen are drawn from the nomadic Arab population and stand accused of rape and murder.
