Darfur has seen many a bloody battle of late between the police and armed militants on one side and the unarmed refugees on the other. It is indeed a shame that the United nations and the rest of the world is hesitating to take aggressive action when it is most needed at places like Darfur. Instead of worrying about Iran and Iraq and the rest of the Middle east, maybe it is high time not to think but to act as far as Darfur is concerned. The government in Sudan is playing the African union and the other leaders by asking for time while it undertakes continual elimination of the refugees in Darfur.
What makes this whole situation sad is that these people are kids,women and old men and as such they neither have the arms or the strength to fight the police and the armed militants at the same time. What is more the Police at Darfur often undertake raids into the refugee camps under one pretext or the other and what ensues is often cold blooded assault as well as murder of the unarmed refugees. Since the African union does not have the courage to step in and prevent this massacre then it is up to the United nations as well as to the other countries to do something about this!
