WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

New York – The United Nations Security Council unanimously authorised on Tuesday the deployment of a joint United Nations-African Union peacekeeping operation in Sudan’s war-torn Darfur region.
The force will have 20 000 UN and African Union troops and up to 4 000 police personnel, and its headquarters should be in place in Darfur before the end of the year, with preparations for setting up the command and control structure to start as early as October.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called the council’s 15-0 vote a “historic” decision to end the four-year conflict, which has killed about 200 000 people and left another two million homeless.
The council authorised the deployment of the hybrid force under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, which allows use of force by peacekeepers to carry out their mandate.
The force will be deployed for an initial 12 months to support “an early and effective” implementation of the Darfur Peace Agreement signed in Arusha, Nigeria, in 2005 between Khartoum and African rebel groups. It would incorporate the 7 000 African troops currently operating in Darfur.
The resolution provided a timetable for military deployment as well as diplomatic activities aimed at ending the ethnic conflict. It decided that the force will be tasked to protect its own military and civilian personnel and to support an “effective implementation” of the 2005 Darfur peace agreement reached in Arusha.
The force will “prevent the disruption of its implementation and armed attacks, and thus to protect civilians, without prejudice to the responsibility of the government of Sudan.”
It called on “parties to the conflict in Darfur to fulfil their international obligations and their commitments under relevant agreements, this resolutions and other relevant council resolutions.” – Sapa-dpa
