What is the reality of Chinese military support to the Government of Sudan?
Makki: I think that China supports the Government of Sudan like it does with any other country, whether it is technologically or by selling [weapons]. IOL: What are the United States’ interests in Sudan and Darfur? Makki: The United States fears any government it perceives to be “fundamentalist.” According to its understandings, the presence of Usama bin Ladin in Afghanistan cost it [tremendously] and therefore the existence of an Islamic movement in Sudan may affect regimes in the area friendly to the United States in the [Persian] Gulf, Egypt, Africa and elsewhere. The United States also fears that the existence of a “fundamentalist” government in Sudan may pose a threat to Israel’s security, because it may support Hamas, Islamic Jihad or other groups. The United States also wants a “client” state and not an independent one like in Sudan that will open its doors to the United States’ competitors such as China and Russia. The United Sates’ interests in Darfur are an extension of these
