| Chad-Darfur Border Area to Get Additional $14 Million in US Aid |
| 2004-06-30 |
| The United States is providing an additional $14 million in emergency support for humanitarian assistance in eastern Chad and the Darfur region of western Sudan. A statement on the aid was issued June 25 by Adam Ereli, deputy State Department spokesman, who said the United States has provided more than $110 million in support of the people of Darfur since the beginning of the crisis. He said that international relief effort is urgently needed on both sides of the border, where the situation remains dire. |

| #3 You forgot the Sudan Government. They require that all 'aid' be provided through the government, delivered in government trucks and in government marked sacks (the sacks cannot say 'U.S. AID' or have any NGO markings.). Actually most of the 'aid' will probably end up in the militants hands..... dont want them to get too hungry between gang-raping little girls and murdering the men..... But I do like the Guns for Genocide Victims plan... And the UN and media would hate it which is all the better. |

| #2 $8M to the UN $5M to the Intl Red Thingy $1M to NGOs & Admin Costs How much will reach the intended recipients? You have to wonder - as well as wonder at the people who constantly criticize the US - $110M thus far and all through the "acceptable" channels - all this happening under the radar. We are soooo bad and evil. |

| #1 How about a few million in humanitarian arms aid? We got plenty of old weapons I'm sure would be appreciated. We could call it Guns for Genocide Victims, or something. |
