Note: Norwegian officials yesterday stated the gouvernment will support UN operations rather than "a coalition of willing nations".
The Government has now decided to send up to 200 Norwegian soldiers to Sudan. The troops will serve under UN command, and will be deployed before the summer.
The Sudan countryside is ravaged by war, hunger and suffering. The task of the Norwegian UN force will be to provide better security in the region.
- The Sudan is a nation which has for decades lived with a civil war which has killed millions of people, and which is now entering a fragile peace process, says Undersecretary of State, Espen Barth Eide.
- I addition comes the conflict in the Darfur Province. There is a high risk tied to serving in such a situation, but we are taking all precautions possible, says Barth Eide.
The around 200 Norwegian soldiers are drawn from the Telemark Batallion, the King's Guard and the Home Guard, according to NRK.
