France’s first and most immediate obligation is to help and protect civilian lives. The most appropriate vehicle to coordinate such an effort would be the United Nations. There will likely be a strong need for both medial and food supplies to help the affected people. As we have seen with natural disasters it is essential that there is a unified and concentrated effort to manage a disaster of this side. There will be world support for such an effort so it is likely France will be able to respond very quickly.
On a military and threat front and with the use of dirty bombs Al-Qaeda has upped the ante on how far they are willing to go to pursue their twisted goals. This effort would need to be coordinated through NATO. As we have seen with Libya both the UN and NATO working hand in hand will give the Europeans and Allies the most power to respond with the broadest public support. The threat of Al-Qaeda establishing a safe haven to operate has huge implications and the response from world powers will strong and decisive.
At the UN committee meeting yesterday I did not fully understand your stance on the situation at hand and am curious on whether your stance has changed since the breaking news on the ISI.
ReplyDeleteOur position on the situation at hand is the following: France does not want to make any military advances in Sudan, we want to aid the civilian aspect of the situation at hand. We want to provide medical and nutritional help to those civilians affected in Sudan. We will get the UN and NATO on board to help us achieve our goals. A statement will be released tonight having to do with France and it's allies future actions. Until then this is the only information I can give you.
