Today the UN High Commissioner of Human Rights, released an alarming report about the abuses that the woman of Darfur have been subject to. This is rape. Members of the Sudanese army and the Armed Militia routinely rape women at gun point; as they gather food for their animals and firewood, saying that they must cooperate or die.
The UN has promised to have a contigent of 24,000 troops in place to moniter the situation. These troops will come from various countries. Hilary Clinton,when asked if she would send troops to th Sudan,said she would sent support in the form of aid if she was President. I have not heard any response from President Bush.
It is estimated that more than 200,000 have been killed and 2.5 million displaced.The situation in Darfur is a sad testimony to the state of the world where humans have no respect for other human beings. To rape and kill attentionly,relfects on all of us,and how man has truly not progressed much from ancient times.
