Darfur crisis has been fabricated by the US for oil reserve: envoy

ALGIERS, Aug 8, 2004 (MENA) — Sudanese ambassador to Algeria Haydar Hassan said the Darfur crisis has been fabricated by the United States to create reserve oil areas in the African continent.

In press statements on Sunday, the ambassador said that giving Sudan one month to settle conditions in Darfur was aimed at crippling the Sudanese government before dispatching foreign troops to Darfur.

Instability in Darfur is in the interest of the United States for imposing sanctions on Sudan, said the Sudanese diplomat, adding that instability also served the rebels.

He described as bare of truth reports on religious conflict in Darfur, pointing out that the United States was applying pressure on Sudan to weaken the Sudanese government and prepare the way for realizing expansionist ambitions.
