| Contrast this to the You Cannot Make This Up: Sudan Elected to U.N. Rights Body Rantburg posting earlier today UN officials who have visited Sudan's western Darfur region say conditions there are as bad as reports suggested. So lets all give Sudan a post on the Human Rights Comission..... James Morris of the UN's World Food Programme said it was "one of the world's worst humanitarian crises". No, that would be the U.N Itself. He confirmed earlier reports that more than a million people had been forced violently from their homes. He said Khartoum needed to regain control of nomadic Arab janjaweed militias, who are accused of driving out the African population. Mr Morris said food was available for only about half of the displaced people. Mr Morris added that security was the key issue and for this the Sudanese government was responsible. He said it was up to the government to bring the Arab militias - known as the janjaweed - under control. The UN has accused Sudan of backing the militias in a campaign of "ethnic cleansing" against black residents. NO! Can't be..... just ask 'Gentle'..... |
