Sudanese government continues to attack Darfur

Tell me again why we gave these assholes 30 days to comply with a UN Security Council resolution? Nothing ever changes with them.

Lino Bordin, deputy representative of the UN high commissioner for refugees in Chad, said the villages had been attacked in waves, beginning with an aerial bombardment.

"The refugees said that 11 villages were attacked from the 2nd to the 10th of August. They were attacked by plane, and after that by cars full of soldiers, and after that by the Janjaweed [militia]," he said.

"These are broken promises by Sudan. They promised that they would start to solve this situation, but that has not happened yet.

"The refugees have arrived in the camps suffering from malnutrition and dehydration, and without any of their possessions. They came with nothing. When the Janjaweed arrived, they stole everything from the houses."

Meanwhile, it's been 28 days since our Congress declared that genocide was happening in Sudan, yet Bush and the European Union have yet to do the same. How much longer will they let this conflict fester before it becomes a successful campaign of genocide?
