Africa

China is deeply concerned about the Darfur Crisis in which more than 2 million Darfurnians have fled to Chad and more than 200,000 have died. We feel very disturbed by accusations made in relation to the selling of weapons to the region. By no means, the Chinese delegation is prompting to adhere to more causes of death and desagragation in the Sudanese region.

Dear Chinese delegate,
France deeply appreciates China’s concern with Africa and the alarming crisis in Darfur. France also recognizes China’s effort in promoting peace talks with Sudan and thanks the nation for that. However what France doesn't seem to understand is how China wish to enhance the situation when it has clearly disregarded the UNSC arms embargo in Sudan under resolution 1591…

The sudanese delegate would like to know from the french delegate how is it possible to recognize chinese efforts if france also believes china has broken the weapons embargo. Once again the french delegate's post is filled with ambiguosity. It seems the french delegate is overly stressed and worried about its topic and is trying to hide behind flawed arguments. Please get your positions straight and stop tryng to create neutral responses to avoid being attacked
Thank You

Delegate,
France is not creating neutral arguments, what it does, differently from Sudan, is recognizing the accomplishments of other countries. France believes that pointing fingers is not the only solution, we understand that China has taken positive steps but we still strongly condemn their disregard with SC resolution.

Sudan,
France´s post was not ambiguous. It is very clear that France, like the US, condemns China's failure to cooperate with the arms embargo.
however, France made it abundantly clear that China's efforts are appreciated.
It seems to the US, like Sudan is the one worried about this topic, in fact to a point of changing the course of the discussion from China's positive present efforts and yet its negative past action, by criticising the French arguments. Maybe because Sudan does not want its alliance with the Janajaweed mentioned. Maybe because Sudan does not want to recognize that, according to a Human Rights Watch Report

Quote :

As part of its operations against the rebels, government forces waged a systematic campaign of “ethnic cleansing” against civilians who are members of the same ethnic groups as the rebels. Sudanese government forces and the Janjaweed militias burned and destroyed hundreds of villages, caused tens of thousands of civilian deaths, displaced millions of people, and raped and assaulted thousands of women and girls.

The French delegate is not hiding. Sudan is the one trying to hide its government's crimes by accusing the French delegation of having flawed arguments. Sudan's response was the one neutral, if it can even be called one with a position at all, for it did not address the country's deplorable situation; instead, the delegate simply tried to change the subject.
