Geldof blames China for problems in Darfur – Mail and Guardian

From the Mail and Guardian Online (link):

Anti-poverty campaigner and Live 8 organiser Sir Bob Geldof accused China on Monday of being responsible for the continuing civil war in Sudan’s Darfur region.

The Irish rock star, nominated for the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for organising last year’s Live 8 benefit concerts, said China was protecting the Sudanese government because it provides 6% of China’s oil.
