Darfur Rebels Spurn Chinese Force – BBC

Rebels in Darfur have demanded that peacekeepers from China pull out of the Sudanese region just hours after the arrival of 135 Chinese engineers. From BBC:

The army engineers arrived on Saturday to prepare for a joint UN and African Union peacekeeping force of 26,000.

The Jem says it wants China to withdraw its support for the Sudanese government.

They say that oil sold to the Chinese is being used to fund government operations in Darfur.
