Here we still sit. Waiting for world to act. WHY? Why are they any less important? Bashir has arrest warrent from International committee war crimes and is responding by committing another (demanding remaining relief workers leave) Millions displaced 2.5 million living in relief camps or on the run nearly a million lives lost. When will it be enough?

It is impossible to see this video hearing the Ave Maria, with out comming to tears. Now it is Somalia too, "the poorest between the poorest" are now there.The world doesn't understand anything os what is happening there and actually doesn't care too much. It is sad to see there are also first class dead children and second class.

I agree and here we sit- still waiting for the world to act more than 2 more years later. I do believe that the incoming US President has shown he will take action, in his choice for UN Ambassador who has long history with dealing with Africa and his own roots to Kenya. But my heart is heavy for those who wait. And wait. And wait.

ICC is now demanding Sudanest President be charged with Genocide. Finally. This is the beginning of the end of the nightmare!

If those words mean anything at all, the President will use the leadership of the U.N. Security Council to get the peacekeepers what they need to protect the people of Darfur.

Talk is cheap. The time for outrage alone is over. The time for action is long past overdue. Every day of foot-dragging is another day of unspeakable atrocities visited on the people of Darfur.

The people of Darfur need protection NOW.

There is simply no reason why the most powerful nation in the world, together with its allies, can't find 22 helicopters to save lives in Darfur.

In last year's State of the Union address, President Bush said: "The United States ... will continue to awaken the conscience of the world to save the people of Darfur."

I saw Mother Teresa in person in 1991 when She was in Scripps Clinic La Jolla CA... all I can say is that when she walked by... You just KNEW you were near the closest thing to "Christ"...

Thanks you to upload that video and show this inhuman disaster...

I´m from Buenos Aires-Argentina and we never get notice from Africa...

Yes,but I believe we must all change our minds.We must realise we should not accept what isn't acceptable & if we just close our eyes things never get better but worse.This crazy sonofabitch who doesn't mind about his own people and all that bloody militias should be stopped but that means a risk. The same happened with Rhuanda.The world never acts until the deads are counted by hundreds of thousands.WE must be willing to pay the bill if we want these things to stop, if we want a civilized world

Last summer, the U.N. Security Council committed to send a robust peacekeeping force to Darfur. There was hope that with the arrival of additional peacekeeping troops, the worst of this humanitarian nightmare would soon be over. 10 long months later, only 10 percent of the additional 20,000 troops have deployed. Those that are on the ground lack the basic logistical and material support they need to do their job.
