World turns attention to Darfur

The US may designate western Sudan fighting a 'genocide'; Europe has sent money for observers.

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – After more than a year of virtually ignoring the biggest humanitarian crisis on the planet, the world's most powerful nations are suddenly paying attention to the conflict in western Sudan.

The central question now is: Will their statements and threats be enough to prevent more ethnic killings and help more than 1 million displaced people avoid illness and starvation in refugee camps during the oncoming rainy season? Already, these countries have upped the ante.

1. Finally On The Radar

Would have like to see this as a multilateral co-operation but every bit helps.
IMHO this is the last chance for the UN.

This actually looks like it should be in editorials but with the possible death of one million people, how could one say

"Show Me You are Aware America"
