Tomas and all, News Article by NYT on December 04, 1999 at 17:24:57: Food for Sudan's Rebels Is Not the Answer - Letter THE NEW YORK TIMES December 4, 1999 Letters To the Editor: As former ambassadors to Sudan, we earnestly hope President Clinton will not use the new Congressional authority to provide food assistance to the Sudan People's Liberation Army (front page, Nov. 29). It would be a mistake to abandon the American policy of not using food as a weapon of war. Using the new authority would undercut Washington's ability to be an honest broker in the effort to end Sudan's civil war. The administration must remember that the rebels, as well as the Khartoum government, have committed egregious human rights violations. Khartoum could well retaliate against the international assistance program in Sudan if food aid were given to the rebels. We can understand the frustration arising from the United States' failure to induce Khartoum to change its ways. But giving food aid to the rebels is not the answer. A more productive course would be to work for a stronger, more sustained effort to end the war. C. WILLIAM KONTOS DONALD PETTERSON Washington, Dec. 2, 1999 sudan.net eom Ed
