Sudan Update: No change
The militias are crossing into Chad to attack the refugees.
Kofi Annon is going to visit Darfur. So is Colin Powell. “According to Mr. Boucher, the militias have destroyed 301 villages in Darfur and damaged 76 others. The attacks have also destroyed crops and irrigation systems, he said. In addition, the Sudanese authorities have responded to a mounting crisis by placing obstacles in the paths of relief workers, he said.”
The Talabanish Sudanese government has promised to disarm their militias but hasn’t followed through. The government has denied attacking their citizens with aerial bombardment and gunships although numerous witnesses have escaped death to testify to these tactics.
The majority of the one displaced million people are women and children. They are starving to death while aid is blocked at the border.
