Tuesday September 12, 2006 21:11 by TD - Amnesty International Irish Section
The UN says some 23,000 peacekeepers are needed in Darfur to protect civilians and implement the peace agreement – Amnesty says they are needed NOW! As part of a worldwide week of action by Amnesty International and other coalitions of organisations Galway AI took to the streets today in Galway to highlight the obscenity of what's happened and happening in Darfur : Since 2003, Darfur in Western Sudan has been embroiled in a vicious conflict: 85,000 civilians have been killed and more than 200,000 have died from war related causes. More than 2 million people have been displaced and live in displaced-persons camps in Sudan or in refugee camps in Chad; more than 3.5 million people are reliant on international aid for survival.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5At this dire stage in Darfur, the only possibility open to the UN is maximum military force to topple dictator Al-Bashir, who has shown his bloodlust and utter lack of scruple.
The people of Darfur are being slaughtered by the Islamic janjaweed and the Sudanese military who consider them infidels - the Sudanese are recieving the backing the Saudis and the Syrians and help from international jihadist terrorists.
Al-Bashir has threatened that if the UN enter they will suffer the same fate as the US forces in Iraq who are fighting mirror image Islamic fundementalist nutjobs.
Intervening in Sudan will certainly cost Western armies thousands of casualities over many years of protracted fighting - but the West spends Billions of dollars on their military - they might as well use it for a just purpose - topple tyrants and dictators throughout the world and use the threat of force to pressure other to respect the democratic and human rights of their people.

According to a short report in the Democracy Now website: "the UN’s top humanitarian official is appealing for an international force to stop ongoing violence in Darfur".
UN Secretary General Emergency Relief Coordinator, Jan Egeland : "On Darfur, indeed in many ways we are in a free fall in Darfur at the moment. The Secretary-General has been very clear in the Security Council yesterday. I have myself appealed publicly to those nations, countries who can influence the parties including the government like China, the Arab states, the Islamic states to try to convince the Khartoum government that we need this U.N. force to avoid the collapse (in Darfur)."
Oh yeah!, Jan, the Khartoum government will only be "convinced" by 23,000 UN soldiers around and in Darfur, as Amnesty demands, otherwise, it's going to be another General Dallaire, 'Shake Hands with the Devil" deja vu slaughterhouse, whilst, same as in Rwanda in 1994, the UN wrings and washes its Pontius Pilate hands?.
Now is not the time for "appealing". Now is the time for demanding?.
have died. The Hollywood actor George Clooney yesterday warned the UN security council that Darfur would become the scene of the "first genocide of the 21st century" if peacekeepers were not sent to Sudan by the end of the month. "After September 30, you won't need the UN," he told the council. "You will simply need men with shovels and bleached white linen and headstones." (full story on link)
Suppose you are out one dark night and you come across a group of thugs raping a woman a knife point? Do you demand or appeal for them to stop?
Either you know how to fight a group of knife wielding thugs barehanded or you are carrying a .38 Special or else you retreat a safe distance and use your cell phone to call the cops.
The Sudanese government are behaving with total disregard for human rights because there is simply no international force prepared to stop them with force.
If the suggest of appealling to the Nazis to stop killing Jews and enslaving Europe is absolutely absurd so to is appealing to the consciences of the Sudanese.
We need men with helmets, boots and rifles on the ground right now to kill these thugs.
