"Darfur has been a running sore for far too long. A situation partly driven by climate change – what does that bode for the future – whereby desertification has driven pastoralists into direct conflict with settled farming communities and then exploited by a heartless Government in Sudan has gone on for far too long. Hundreds of thousands are living in misery and threatened with worse. I have been critical of China’s reluctance to support UN action, it was claimed because of its oil interests in southern Sudan. But now President Hu Jintao’s direct intervention appears to have persuaded Sudan’s President to agree a UN peacekeeping operation manned by troops from AU countries. Whether Sudan’s Government can be trusted is not clear. But now, if China is betrayed, Sudan will no longer be able to rely on their reluctance to act in the UN Secretary Council. This may be good news for refugees in Darfur and neighbouring countries."@en1
