Gambia News : Gambian soldiers off to Darfur on peace-keeping mission

Jul 03,2008 by

gambia Gambian soldiers numbering 196 Tuesday departed for war- torn Sudanese region of Darfur, to embark on joint UN/AU peace-keeping mission, government mouth-piece, Daily Observer disclosed.

Addressing the soldiers which included five women, Gambian Vice President, Isatou Njie Saidy said despite numerous international efforts, Darfur was yet to have lasting peace. "In this regard, my government's commitment to fulfill its obligations to the ch arter and principles of the AU/UN and the Gambia Armed Forces' readiness to participate in peace-keeping endeavours, has been relentless," Saidy emphasised.

"This trend will continue until peace is achieved and normalcy finally restored in this troubled region."

She further reminded the soldiers about the crucial role they have to play in the "humanitarian endeavour" towards finding lasting peace in the Western Sudan of Darfur.

"You will not only ensure the security and freedom of movement of the people in your area of responsibility, but your presence will also bring hope to a people who have been greatly deprived of their fundamental rights and freedom as human beings," the Vice President said.
