Where are the US troops?....

A new analysis by the U.S. Agency for International Development predicts that 400,000 people will die in Darfur in the next nine months. The deaths will be a direct result of government-supported violence: a) destruction of food stocks by government troops and allied militias that has taken away food that people need for the coming rainy season; b) displacement that has prevented people from planting crops for harvesting after the rainy season; and c) continuing government restrictions on humanitarian access that exacerbate the already extreme remoteness of the location. AID predicts 30% of the war affected population – currently 1.2 million – will die because of this largely irreversible, entirely man-made crisis.
