News Article: Sudan Crisis

Target audience: Common People

In our society today many people including myself are poorly informed about such issues as in Sudan, which has been in the dark for almost a decade. Sudan is a third world country located within Africa that is currently plunging deeper and deeper into peril. Enraged Arab militia know as the Janjaweed backed the Sudanese government run wild free to murder, rape and plunder the black African occupants of Sudan.

The Janjaweed have already killed thousands and drove nearly 1 million black Africans from their homes that had accused the government of favouring the Arab population in Sudan. The government denies this but later, funds and backs the Janjaweed to continue their campaign to eradicate the black Africans living in Sudan. The international community has recently taken notice of this violence offered solutions. These were later rejected by the Sudanese government who assured the UN that they would bring Janjaweed under control. The UN distrusting the Sudanese government said they would intervene using whatever means possible unless they completely disarmed the Janjaweed within 30 days.

Many countries suggest air borne aid to the black Africans living in camps mainly along the outskirts of Sudan. Hundreds of thousands of civilians are living in mass refugee camps with little to no water, food and shelter. The likely hood of diseases like malaria becoming water borne is already high and rising as living conditions worsen.

In the end we are stuck between how much we value human life and the fact that whatever we do, whether it be sanctioning parts of the country, sending in foreign aid or eliminating the Janjaweed we cannot win. But then again, thinking in terms of the Iraq war, wouldn't it be easier to just run in there, kill the militia and take all their oil for profit?

Canneto di Caronia has been taken over by an endless flow of scientists, engineers, police and even a few "ghostbusters" searching for clues to the recent spontaneous combustion of everything from microwave ovens to a car. The fires started in mid-January and have claimed home appliances and fuse boxes in about half of the 20 odd houses.

The 39 inhabitants of the town halfway between Palermo and Messina were evacuated after the regional government declared a state of emergency in Canneto, which occupies a single street, nestled between a railway line and the sea. Nobody can say the experts aren't trying. Two fire trucks and a police jeep sit at the entrance of Canneto on alert for the next blaze while a van with large, rotating antennae on top measures the radio waves. A host of three-legged instruments to monitor geomagnetic, meteorological, electromagnetic and electrostatic indicators sit in apartments and next to ...
