The World Food Programme, based in Rome, is underfunded and overstretched.  They have an office of Information on their web site which will give you copious amounts of information.  They are directly responsible for keeping the famines in Africa's Darfur region from being a complete genocide.  It is through their tireless effort that people who would otherwise starve have been saved in some of the most remote parts of the world, and during wars, natural disasters and other crises.  It is a tribute to their efforts that one has to mention how many of their workers have been hurt or killed trying to alleviate the suffering of others.  They are doing the best they can.  It is up to the world community to ante up the funding required to do their job properly.

Genocide is killing a group.\n\nThe Shoah (Holocaust) was a specific genocide carried out under Law by the NAZI regime.\n\nThe Turks have never acknowleded their genocide against the Armenians.  The Germans and Austrians have apologized for their mega-murders of innocent men, women, and 1,500,000 children.\n\nBTW Japan has never apologized for their genocide against the Chinese.

It is a rebel group wih serious issues where Kony the leader thinks he sees visions and wants Uganda to be ruled by the Ten Commendments. HIs group has been linked to massacres, child soldiering and a whole lot of war crimes. He continues to kill nad maime people but the African Union, The UN, the internation community are simply not doing anything. In fact he frequently holds talks with the SPLM/A. that is the government of the newly formed South Sudan. And to think our leaders were protecting us from the axis of evil.

Right on! My school just devoted an entire day to raising money for the Darfur genocide. We sold shirts saying stop the genocide-Darfur on them and we raised $2000 and we are trying to raise awareness about the genocide by organizing a rally for the Darfur genocide. It cannot be stoped unless people know about it

The U.N. has to find guts enough to stand up to the African Union and tell them to quit coddling the warlords in Sudan, and to let the U.N. step in to help establish order. That said, I don't have much faith in either situation coming about. With the lack of backbone on the U.N. Security Council, I don't see much happening with the U.N., and the African Union is packed with allies of the continent's many dictators. There's no single figure in Africa who is willing to stand up to the dictators across the rest of the continent and tell them to stop their own abuses and to band together for the common good. And even if there were such a person, getting the rest of the continent to go along with it would be a feat of the magnitude that this world has never seen. It would never happen.

The biggest problem the United Nations has is the courage to enforce any of its resolutions or sanctions. The UN stood by and watched 1 million people killed in Rwanda and did absolutely nothing except a few UN soldiers raped and killed innocent people.

Just another example of the fact that unless the US does something to protect the oppressed, not a single other nation on Earth will. We are the only ones that give a damn.\n\nThis is Kofi Anan's second failure to protect against genocide. Kofi was head of UN peacekeeping missions when the UN troops in Rwanda called him to tell him something terrible was going to happen, and he needed to send more troops and give them instructions. He did nothing.\n\nNow, he has completely ignored the atrocities in Darfur, and has not even objected to Sudan being on the UN Human Rights council.\n\nBut it is time to open our eyes and see that no other country cares about others. There is no African, EU, Asian, or American (N., S. & Central) that gives a damn.\n\nAnd that's a sad indictment on the rest of the world, especially all those moral midgets who throw aspersions at the USA.

what's funny is... they ignore Saddam's major genocidal purges... and after they are mostly over... then we invade? a lot of good that does...\n\nI guess they are waiting for the genocide to stop before we go in to "free the people" of Darfur?

Realistically speaking the Sudanses Government is just as destructible as the Third Reich under Hitler. The treaty is a joke, it will do more harm then peace and the Sudan Government only created to help clean up their image. But it dose change a thing, the Sudan Government is a terrorist state even Osama himself called it home. The Sudan liberation Movement is vital because the Darfurians need someone to defend them. You can make the statement that they don't stand a chance against the Military force of Sudan, but these individuals are not mere terrorist rebels rather they are freedom fighters. America and other UN nations should get involved in the crisis. Sometimes you can send you message across better with Guns and Bombs then with ink and paper.

I think if there's an overwhelming plea from the people of that country for help, or in nations such as Sudan and Rwanda where there is overwhelming evidence of genocide, then yes. \n\nOtherwise no.

I don't know, but we are all to be blamed for having close our eyes and shut our mouth while tousands were slaugters.\nI'm only 19 y.o. but I feel guilty for this anyway. Even the United Nations didn't act in order to stop the genocide. We ought never to forget what happened.

You're spot on. The UN is acting as a country unto itself. Their inability to operate effectively is proof. They sit on their bloodstained hands when they are needed most and point fingers and accuse when they need to STFU and sit quietly. The graft and deception going on in the UN almost makes the governmental back room dealing a non-issue.

The United States is trying so hard to appease Muslim nations... which is okay... and not Terrorists like the EU. Sudan is the first thing the AU, African Union, has to resolve. Plus the victims in Sudan are Christians... no one cares about Christians today. Sudan, like much of Africa is Poor and if the U.S.A doesn't do anything about this terrorist organizations will set up a stronghold in Africa.
