GOAL boss slams EU attitude to Darfur


Breakingnews.ie, 23rd July 2007

GOAL chief executive John O'Shea is reiterating his criticism of the international community over its attitude to the Darfur region of Sudan.

The criticism comes as the EU announces plans to send up to 3,000 soldiers to the African state of Chad in order to protect refugees from neighbouring Darfur.

An estimated 400,000 displaced people are living in camps in eastern Chad.

Despite welcoming the EU move in Chad, GOAL chief executive John O'Shea is accusing the international community of failing to tackle the main issue of the conflict in Darfur.

He claims the EU hasn't got the courage to defy China and send troops in to ease the major humanitarian crisis in Sudan.
