Readers, just saying that makes me realize AmeriKa's morals are in the toilet.
They ought to put this on instead; maybe someone will finally do something about it.
"UN envoys urge Chad to honor peace accord" by Associated Press | June 7, 2008
ABECHE, Chad - Refugees and aid workers in eastern Chad told members of the UN Security Council yesterday that their biggest worries are insecurity and banditry, which have been on the rise in the area for months.
Council members traveled to Chad to get a firsthand glimpse of the spillover from neighboring Darfur's five-year conflict and to push for reconciliation between Sudan and Chad.
Sudan broke diplomatic relations with Chad last month, blaming its government for backing rebels from the Darfur-based Justice and Equality Movement who attacked near the Sudanese capital. Chad in turn closed its border with Sudan and halted bilateral trade.
In a meeting later yesterday with Chad's president, Idriss Deby, the UN envoys pushed for the Chadian government to keep commitments made in a March peace accord with Sudan signed in Senegal. The agreement is aimed at ensuring that rebel groups from each country do not use the neighboring country as a staging ground for incursions.
Makes me wonder which groups the U.S. is supporting.
The diplomats visited two UN-run camps in Goz Baida, one for refugees who fled across the border from Darfur and the other for Chadians living along the border forced to flee their homes because of the violence.
Swapping refugees! Doesn't this just break your heart?
The rising number of refugees is taxing the local population and the government, and "security seems a problem as well," US Deputy Ambassador Alejandro Wolf said. Wolf said they would take what they had learned back to the council to see how it can address the issue.
He said members of the UN's most powerful body also were concerned about the possible need to resettle both the internally displaced and the refugees elsewhere.
"They can't go back home," he said. "The insecurity in the region is one thing they keep citing that makes the camps the really only viable alternative at this moment."
The UN says 2.5 million people have been forced from their homes by the Darfur conflict, and the death toll could be 300,000."Another afterthought mention of death tolls. WTF?
