I have written about the ethnic cleanising taking place in Darfur, Western Sudan, previously. Check out this article for a good overview of the situation (also putting it into context with events elsewhere in Sudan) which has by all accounts deteriorated in the period since the article was written. US Agency for International Development (USAID) chief Andrew Natsios recently said, "We estimate right now if we get relief in, we'll lose a third of a million people, and if we don't the death rates could be dramatically higher, approaching a million people." There are no easy answers to the problems this situation raises, but the consequences of inaction seem stark.
