Darfur News

Filed under: Darfur — oldcynic @ 9:38 pm

In the news tonight, the UN is finally sending a peacekeping force to Darfur, four years on from the start of the genocide there. Their mandate is to protect civilians and aid workers. In Rwanda, the UN were present in much smaller numbers, with a mandate to protect civilians and aid workers. Foreign civilians and aid workers gained protection.

Hopefully in the last 15 years lessons have been learned, and the UN & the African Union working together can bring some stability and protection for civilians and aid workers regardless of where they come from. Pray for the 200,000 who have died; for the 2 million who have fled in fear. Pray for healing and for peace.
