Darfur Trial

It is interesting that the Darfur has finally received some deal of recognition, however today the murders are still going on. Interestingly the west has decided it is up to the Africans to resolve this. This sounds good, that is until the Africans cannot send troops to the areas affected because of lack of fuel, or supplies. Then when troops arrive you get stories of rape by the peacekeepers arising in some areas. Perhaps the west should instead that it demand to send troops if only to police the peace keepers and protect the most disadvantaged.

It is sad when those who are sent to help instead end up abusing those they are sent to save. Sadly no corner of the world is immune to this type of abuse, regardless of race, creed, ethnicity. That is why it is important that an outside organization such as the western countries at least try to send in policemen with peacekeepers much like Canada did for Haiti.

How can we catch all of the people who did the killings, perhaps all the west can do is arrest the military rulers who overlooked this debacle. However, the people that pulled the trigger and shot and raped all those people get to do it over and over again.

Isn't this a bit of a hypocrisy, much like the ruthless murders that went on with the Serbs demanding that they police their own, yet they went and still committed atrocities. I fear in Africa those who have the power and money to buy off the peacekeepers will do what they wish and continue to force people out of Darfur who are not considered as worthwhile.
