Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 May 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Darfur Crisis.


Darfur Crisis

The hon. Member for Buckingham (John Bercow) might refer to this, but when we were last there we had the opportunity to meet the peacekeepers who were responsible for the ceasefire in the Nuba mountains. The one message that I took from that was that it was not numbers that made the difference, but organisation, logistics, a clear knowledge of what people were doing and earning the respect of the people among whom they were trying to keep the peace. I hope that the Nuba mountains are still at the back of the minds of those who are considering how this situation can be made to work.
