U.S. says Sudan will accept U.N. force, chides Russia

WASHINGTON, Aug 31 (Reuters) - The United States voiced optimism on Thursday that Sudan would ultimately accept U.N. peacekeepers in Darfur and said it was "inexplicable" that Russia and China had not voted in favor of such a force.
The State Department's top official on Africa, Jendayi Frazer, said that after meeting Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir this week she believed he would consent to a U.N. force to end what Washington says is genocide in Darfur.
"What the government said to me very clearly is they welcome any effort to support and to strengthen the African Union forces that are in Darfur," said Frazer, referring to the 7,000 African troops struggling to keep the peace in Darfur.
"I'm very confident that ultimately they will accept," added Frazer, who carried a message from President George W. Bush to Bashir urging Sudan to drop its objections.
The Security Council on Thursday voted by 12 votes to none, with abstentions from Russia, China and Qatar, to create a U.N. peacekeeping force of up to 22,500 in Darfur.
"We think it's inexplicable, in light of the very grave and serious and deteriorating security situation," said senior State Department official Kristen Silverberg, of the decision by the three nations to abstain.
"We think their abstention was hard to explain, in light of their previous endorsements of the concept of an expanded U.N. operation," she added.
The resolution also provided for an immediate injection of air, engineering and communications support for the existing African force, whose mandate expires on Sept. 30.
Tens of thousands of people have been killed and up to 2.5 million forced from their homes since mostly non-Arab rebels in Darfur took up arms in early 2003 accusing Khartoum of marginalizing the region.
Despite a peace deal last May signed by one of the three rebel factions and the government, the violence has increased.
Frazer's diplomatic mission to Sudan this week was difficult. Protesters dogged her and Bashir kept her waiting for three days before agreeing to meet.
She said Bashir had promised to send his foreign minister with a reply to Bush's message, hopefully within a week or so.
During her talks with Bashir, Frazer said she voiced strong U.S. concerns over a buildup of Sudan's military in Darfur.

I stood today with the SOUTH SUDANESE in cheering that the UN will send in peace keepers by force----regardless of SATAN BASHIR's refusal to accept them.
I also look forward to South Sudan becoming its own country in 2011....and not because the SPLA plans to crown me "Queen of Sudan"....but because there's no other way for the Black Africans to ever have power and freedom.
I also wish the U.S. would invade North Sudan and kick out the BASHIR regime. It's a takeover that Africa desperately needs.

The African Union SUCKS, as they accepted "money" from the Arabs to look the other way.

Kola, do you think 22,500 troops are enough? |

i really hope the northern sudanese continue to clamp down on those murdering rebels in the south of sudan. if the northern sudanese didn't continue to fight these murdering rebels in the south. these murdering rebels would attempt (and have attempted) to rape, rob, murder, and take over the sudanese people in the north.
there will never be a us invasion of northern sudan. why should there be? if the southern sudanese are losing the civil war there, than thats there problem, its not the problem of the united states. there is NO genocide there. what you have is a civil war, in which the ugly people(southern sudanese) are losing. the northern sudanese are doing the right thing in the sudan to protect their way of life. if the northern sudanese didn't do what they are forced to do by the southern sudanese murderers, the northern sudanese would be over-run by hordes of southern sudanese. these southern sudanese want to rape, kill, and destroy the peoples and culture in the north of sudan. they have done it before. if they are not stopped they will do it again. |

The West wants them to annihilate each other so they can get the oil reserves and it looks like that is what is going to happen.
That same old game is still working. |

I've met many southern Sudanese and they seemed so overtly innocent and naive (I hope they aren't all like that). What I would really like to see is for them to get as RUTHLESS as the Arab Sudanese and KICK THEIR ASSES. |
