I have followed the news from Darfur with great concern. I feel that this is an opportunity for Parliament to set an example and to demand that the EU’s other institutions follow suit by keeping up their condemnation of the atrocities and seeking solutions to the conflict.
We must be unequivocal in our condemnation of these outrages and must ensure that the mobilisation of peacekeeping resources goes beyond mere rhetoric. We must not let up in the efforts already under way, which have already begun to achieve such good results.
As in Bosnia, Rwanda and Burundi, and many others, it is difficult to conceive of the whole drama of yet more mass deaths, not to mention genocide, which we invariably say will be the last.
The EU must, in my view, maintain the pressure on the Sudanese Government and on those responsible for the conflict, to ensure that the ceasefire, signed as a result of that pressure, is strictly observed.
The EU, which claims to be a global player, has a golden opportunity to ensure that people do not forget what is happening in Darfur and that those responsible do not go unpunished.
Apart from Amendment No 12, I voted in favour of the amendments, which have improved upon the Committee on Development’s initial proposal."@en1
