The Darfur Crisis
An estimated 400,000
people have already perished directly or
indirectly as result of persistent raids by
the Janjaweed militia; and over two
million now face massive human rights
abuses.
In
his analysis of September 7th,
American academic Eric Reeves notes that
there are presently “over
3.2 million ‘conflict-affected
persons,’ … current excess mortality in
Darfur exceeds 6,000 human beings per
month,” and that “without vastly increased
international resources, including NATO
military personnel, genocide by attrition
will continue indefinitely in Darfur”.
"Nothing could burden
future operations by the AU Peace and
Security Commission more onerously than such
a legacy."
