| Senegal threatens Darfur pull-out |
| 2007-10-02 |
| Senegal has warned it could withdraw its peacekeepers from Sudan after 10 soldiers were killed when an African Union base in the Darfur region was attacked. At least one Senegalese soldier was among the dead after what an AU spokesman called a "deliberate and sustained" assault on the Haskanita base late on Saturday. "If they died because they didn't have the arms to defend themselves, I will withdraw all the Senegalese," Abdoulaye Wade, Senegal's president, said on Monday. "I am not going to send people to be slaughtered," he said, adding he had ordered an investigation into the attack. |

| #1 I know who is sending this support to Dafur to further slaughter Black Christians. The subject is taboo in the media. Brittany has presidence. You need to know more about child obesity and tainted toys than an all out genocide in your time. Shame on all of you. |
