Sudan: Save Darfur Coalition Responds to Sudanese President's Inaccurate Assertions

press release

Washington , DC — The Save Darfur Coalition today responded to Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir's assertions regarding a United Nations peacekeeping force in Darfur . Bashir was quoted claiming he would not accept a 'colonial' UN peacekeeping force in Darfur , and that the push for such a force was coming purely from U.S.-based Jewish organizations.

"President Bashir's comments are as predictable as they are preposterous," said Save Darfur Coalition spokesperson Alex Meixner. "Earlier this year, Bashir said that he would not allow a UN peacekeeping force in Darfur because there was no peace agreement to keep. Now that an agreement has been signed, he's creating new excuses to keep the international community from ending the crisis he created."
