China Breaking Arms Embargo in Sudan

A day after the International criminal court charged Sudan's president with genocide China expressed "grave concern". Their concern is so great that they willfully break the UN arms embargo against Sudan. China has also allegedly trained fighter pilots to fly A5 Fantan fighter jets. The arms the Sudan receives from China are used against the people of Darfur. Up to date, at least 300000 people have been murdered in a genocidal jihad.

According to a British Broadcasting Corporation television documentary aired yesterday, the vehicle, produced by one of China's leading auto makers, is powerful evidence that China has been breaking the United Nations arms embargo on military aid and equipment bound for Sudan's embattled Darfur region.

Its markings, captured on film, show the truck was exported by China to Sudan in 2005, after the United Nations banned the transfer of military goods to Darfur.

And, the BBC program alleges, China is also training fighter pilots who fly its A5 Fantan fighter jets in Darfur, where up to 300,000 people have died at the hands of government-backed militias and tens of thousands more have been displaced.

The film was aired as the International Criminal Court filed 10 war-crimes charges against Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir, whom the court's prosecutor accuses of masterminding and implementing a plan to destroy three influential Darfur communities "on account of their ethnicity."

"His motives were largely political. His alibi was a `counter-insurgency.' His intent was genocide," said prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo.

"The program is strongly biased," Liu Guijin, China's special envoy for Darfur, told the China Daily. "China's arms sales were very small in scale and never made to nonsovereign entities."

A UN panel of five experts on Darfur, including one Canadian, has said it will examine the BBC's evidence.

The documentary, produced by the BBC's current affairs program Panorama, traces a military truck through the remote deserts of West Darfur, filming it along with a second vehicle. Both trucks had been carrying anti-aircraft guns.

"Markings showed that they were from a batch of 212 Dong Feng army (trucks) that the UN had traced as having arrived in Sudan after the arms embargo was put in place," said correspondent Hilary Andersson on the BBC's website.

A witness to an attack by an anti-aircraft gun in the town of Sirba in West Darfur, told the BBC that it fired directly at a hut, creating "an intense wave of heat (that) instantly sent all the huts around in flames."
