No Welcome Mat For China in DArfur

China has sent peacekeepers to Darfur, but they are not welcomed according to the rebels. This situation has turned into a quandary. The rebels don’t want China to supply the peacekeepers because they see China as an ally to the government forces who have brutalized their people.

China is the largest buyer of oil in Sudan and their money enables the government to fund their army. Therefore, it’s understandable that the rebels made up of victims of the governments violence, would be skeptical of Chinese peacekeepers. The problem is the government will only allow certain groups into the country.

The government doesn’t want foreigners except China in the country and the rebels don’t want China.

So, it looks like another stalemate.
