"I had the opportunity to visit the Sudan earlier this year, as did Mr Corrie, though not at the same time, and he led an official delegation. I am grateful to the Commissioner for his balanced response. It seems to me that what is needed here in Europe is an appreciation of the facts of the situation – what is actually happening. Many allegations have been made. The Sudanese Government denies them. We want to get at the truth. I would like to hear whether the Commission is going to make any effort, or is making any effort, to try to establish whether or not there is a scorched earth policy.
The Commission representative in Khartoum said to me that our aid to the Sudan is severely limited because of political constraints. If only we could start to get more aid into that country we might do more to end the civil war there and actually get greater respect for human rights across the whole of that country. That should be the ambition of us all."@en1
