Werner Daum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Werner Daum is a Fellow at the prestigious Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University, and was Germany's ambassador to Sudan from 1996 to 2000.

In Summer 2001, Daum wrote a long article for the Harvard International Review entitled Universalism and the West — An Agenda for Understanding in which he harshly criticised the US government for destroying the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Khartoum. The thrust of his argument was that the medication shortage caused by the attack led to an unknown number of deaths in Sudan, which might have been in the tens of thousands.
