Damanga praises canadian foreign affairs minister maxime bernier

March 28, 2008

      The Damanga Coalition for Freedom and Democracy applauds Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier for demanding that the Government of Khartoum help create peace in Darfur or risk strained relations with Canada. Bernier expressed the need for Khartoum to do more to create a peace, implement the UNAMID mission, and stop the humanitarian disaster in Darfur. If Sudan continues to stall the peace process, Bernier threatened Canada’s disinvestment from Sudan which would result in a major cut in funding. The Damanga Coalition of Freedom and Democracy is grateful for Bernier’s strong stance and encourages other international leaders to take similar positions. If the international community stands against the Government of Khartoum, Sudan will have no choice but to allow the implementation of UNAMID and stop the genocide in Darfur.
