Sudan Leader Declines Troops From Countries That Can Boast Of Muhammed-Related Cartoon Incidents
Flemming Rose notes that 400 troops from Sweden and Norway about to deploy in Darfur in support of the UN were refused by Sudan President Omar al-Bashir because of Scandinavian countries' place in recent cartoon-related incident regarding depictions of Muhammed. Rose notes which incidents the countries in question were and weren't a part of. It's gratifying to hear that things are going so well in the Sudan that government officials can pick and choose via sweeping national characterization who can and can't be a part of such efforts.
