Clooney sees EU success at Darfur border
BRUSSELS – Just back from eastern Chad and the border area with Darfur and Sudan, actor George Clooney said in an interview with CNN that the European Union’s military mission in the country has achieved “a certain degree of success” in protecting refugees from the Darfur crisis because the mission had a stronger mandate than that what is usual for UN troops.
The mission, known as EUFOR Chad/RCA, is a bridging mission for the United Nations, which will fold EUFOR it into the MINURCAT mission in Chad and Darfur at the middle of March. EUFOR Chad includes about 3700 European troops, mostly from France, Poland, Ireland but also from Austria, Sweden, the Netherlands and several other EU member states.
