The EU’s support for peace in Chad and Sudan - Staying involved
Geschrieben von Claudia Frank
International Conference
11 March 2010
Bread for the World Office
Rue Joseph II, 166 - Brussels
Group
Chad had organized panel
discussions on EU politics on Chad in regard to its diplomatic, military and
development approaches to resolve the internal and regional crisis (Sudan,
CAR). Assuming that a lasting peace in Darfur and an efficient
peace policy on Chad are intertwined, a distinct political engagement and a
coherent European policy must therefore take into account a regional
perspective and needs to be more coordinated. The efforts of the EU
Commission respectively the Delegation’s strategy to contribute to the
promotion of good governance in Chad, the implementation of the EDF and the
agreement of August 13 had been reviewed. Eventually, the
position of EU member states towards arms exports to Chad and the risk that
arms provided to the Chadian Government may find their way into neighboring
Darfur had been discussed.
Group Chad: The EU has to insist on democratic reforms
Brussels, 11 March 2010. Representatives of the Group
Chad have termed the involvement of the European Union in the conflict-ridden
region of Chad, Sudan and Central African Republic as insufficient. At an
international conference organized by Group Chad on 11 March, with 50
participants, they demanded that the EU pushes for democratic reforms.
