| #1 Fred here is another small exchange that occurred during the State Department Daily Press Briefing that I think may well be important here soon: QUESTION: No, can we stay on Sudan? Condoleezza Rice said over the weekend that you were working with the Libyans to try and get a third route for aid into Darfur. Can you expand on that? MR. ERELI: This is something, I think, that we've been talking about for some time. It's a land route through Libya for the delivery of humanitarian supplies. I don't know what the latest is in terms of the logistical arrangements for delivering aid through that route but, as the National Security Advisor said, it is an issue under active discussion. I don't think that the Janjaweeds are going to be too happy with Libya helping establishing a detour around the militant toll booths for aid traffic. It's almost like Qadaffi is more interested in helping Africans than he is in helping Arabs. If he declares Quanza a Libyan national holiday we'll know for sure that the worm has turned. |
