Send foreign peacekeepers - US
18/04/2007 07:20 - (SA)


N'Djamena - US deputy secretary of state John Negroponte on Tuesday urged the deployment of foreign troops in volatile Chad, Sudan and the Central African Republic which have been wracked by fighting.

"We fully support the deployment of two international peacekeeping forces in the region: the first is a hybrid United Nations-African Union force in Darfur," in Sudan, Negroponte told reporters in the Chadian capital N'Djamena.

The second, Negroponte said, was "a United Nations peacekeeping force for eastern Chad and northeastern Central African Republic".

"These robust international forces are required to improve the security of affected populations, and are the subject of continued bilateral discussions between Chad and the United States," he said.

I would be so excited if it were anyone beside Negroponte, but, to him, peacekeepers means execution squads.
