"Mr President, I would like to draw your attention to the worsening situation in Darfur. According to the latest figures from the World Health Organization, up to 450 people are dying there each day. Rebel groups are attacking relief agencies more frequently, forcing them to leave the area. The numbers of displaced people are increasing, with the UN reporting an additional 150 000 left homeless last month alone. The response to such a dire situation should be prompt and effective.
Firstly, the European Council should make the issue a top priority at its summit meeting later this month. Secondly, the European Union should use all its weight in highlighting this crisis at the meeting of the UN Security Council in Nairobi. The Sudan situation will be debated and a draft resolution considered. The Security Council must send a clear message to all parties involved to ensure that they adhere to agreements already entered into and that they end the violence now. Thirdly, the government of Sudan must be specifically singled out to take responsibility for the protection of its citizens and the disarmament of the Janjaweed militia. Lastly, the African Union force must be strengthened and its mandate expanded to deal more effectively with the security situation.
It is time the European Union insisted that this resolution bring about real and sustained results."@en1
