It is Genocide. The US has no business unilaterally settling this issue, but should support multilateral action by the UN to end genocide.

Sudan’s vice president, meanwhile, indirectly blamed Western countries for the escalating humanitarian crisis in western Sudan, saying that if they had given promised funds to Sudan, the Darfur region would have been more likely to develop.
A joint statement issued by the Group of Eight at its annual summit voiced concern about reports that Arab militias are carrying out an ethnic cleansing campaign against black Africans in Darfur.
“There are continuing reports of gross violations of human rights, many with an ethnic dimension,” the declaration said. “We look to the United Nations to lead the international effort to avert a major disaster and will work together to achieve this end.” |
