ADVERTISEMENT US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who said a special US envoy for Sudan would be appointed in the coming days, made the comments to reporters following reports that a peacekeeper for a joint UN-African Union force was killed in an ambush. Calling the situation in Darfur "horrendous," Clinton said Beshir's expulsion of aid workers put 1.4 million people at risk, adding that the Sudanese president "will be held responsible for every single death that occurs in those camps." Without naming China, one of Sudan's biggest defenders internationally, Clinton said countries that support Beshir "have a responsibility to persuade the government in Sudan to change its decision." Sudan must either allow aid workers back in, or "must replace with money and personnel those who have been expelled so that innocent lives are not lost and further undermined," she said. "We are looking for the most effective ways to convince and demonstrate to the government of Sudan that they have now assumed an even greater sense of responsibility and infamy in the eyes of the world by turning their backs on these refugees whom they created in the first place." State Department spokesman Robert Wood said the United States has intensified its contacts in recent days with key players like China, the African Union and the Arab League to press them to use their influence to persuade Beshir to reverse course. UN chief Ban Ki-moon meanwhile condemned the killing of the peacekeeper and said he was "deeply concerned" about increased security threats to the joint African Union and United Nations aid mission in Darfur (UNAMID). Ban "calls on all parties to fulfill their responsibility to ensure the safety and security of UN and UN-associated personnel in Sudan," his press office said in a statement. The peacekeeper was returning from patrol near the town of Nyala in Darfur when his unit came under attack. He was airlifted to UNAMID's headquarters in El-Fasher, where he died from his wounds. The death brought to 14 the number of peacekeepers killed in Darfur since the hybrid mission took over from a beleaguered African Union force in January 2008. Sudan expelled 13 foreign non-governmental organizations from Darfur after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant March 4 against Beshir for alleged crimes against humanity and genocide in Darfur. The targeted organizations, including Britain's Oxfam, US-based Care and the Dutch and French sections of Doctors Without Borders (MSF), make up about half the humanitarian aid capacity in Darfur. On Monday, Beshir said Sudan wanted no foreign aid organizations on the ground within a year, and that Sudanese organizations would replace them. "If they want to bring in aid, they will have to leave it at the airport," he said at rally in Khartoum.
