The ghost of Rwanda hangs over William Hague (Glenys Kinnock)

(BRUXELLES2) This is a letter from a reader published by the Guardian Today. The reader is not just anybody. This is Glenys Kinnock, former Minister Delegate for Africa and Minister Delegate for Europe in the Blair government. Former MEP, now in the House of Lords and member of the group on Sudan, Glenys does not mince words. " The ghost of Rwanda hangs over the Central African Republic (CAR), and again the UN has warned of the danger of genocide ” emphasizes the wife of Neil Kinnock (*). " Cathy Ashton's proposal for the rapid deployment of a battalion-sized force (NB: EUFOR RCA Bangui), to support African and French peacekeepers in their efforts to restore security in CAR. »

Necessary means

“While the majority of EU member states, including the UK, have no vested interest, or to take action, any alternative is unthinkable. Fire support, intelligence, medical support, means of transport, including helicopters, will make a big difference she writes. And to conclude I really hope that this Monday in Brussels, William Hague will respond positively before the terrible predictions of genocide are realized. »
