Darfur

I was pleased to hear that the UN finally is sending over 20,000 troops to Darfur. Of course much damage has already been done in that unfortunate region, so in a way this may be too little too late. Moreover, if there are limitations put on these troops, they will be rendered ineffective. If you’ve seen the movie Hotel Rwanda, you could see how impotent the UN forces can be (I recommend the movie, despite the violence).

Please pray that the killing and attacking in Darfur stops, humanitarian aid can freely flow into the region, and peace without oppression is established. Pray that the UN forces will be effective in preventing any more misery.
