Darfur's displaced people plead for help
Hussein Abu Sharati,  a spokesperson for Darfur’s 2.7 million displaced people reports acute water shortages in the camps.  There are also widespread reports that people are being terrorized by  “  indiscriminate shooting by unknown persons during the night. "  Residents, 80% of which are women and children, say government backed militias carry out attacks against the camps.
 
On March 4, 2009 the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for the arrest of Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Within hours, in retaliation al-Bashir expelled 13 key international aid agencies.  The Sudanese regime and UN jointly committed themselves to a series of emergency measures to fill the aid gaps, but unsurprisingly, the regime has not fulfilled its pledges and crucial assistance is not reaching the refugees.
