Canda's role in Sudan
[edit]- "Canada hails Darfur peace deal" — Sudan Tribune, May 8, 2006
“Canada is proud to have played a central diplomatic role in this process, in particular through the important work of Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Canada to the United Nations in New York Allan Rock and High Commissioner to Nigeria David Angell and their officials in Abuja,” said Minister MacKay. “Canada worked closely with the AU, the EU, the U.K. and the U.S. in brokering an agreement during the final days of these negotiations. These and other international partners were actively engaged throughout the two-year process.”
Since September 2004, Canada has contributed a total of $218 million in support of diplomatic, humanitarian and African Union-led efforts to end the violence and bring peace to the people of Darfur.
Canada remains a top contributor to the African Union Mission in Sudan, having provided 25 helicopters, two aircraft, 105 armoured personnel carriers and related equipment, as well as civilian police and military expertise.
The Canadian army doesn't have enough soldiers to deploy to the Darfur crisis in Sudan while maintaining its current commitment to Afghanistan, Defence Minister Gordon O'Connor said Monday.
Mr. O'Connor told a Senate committee on national security that the military has sufficient ground troops to remain in Afghanistan indefinitely
