we need protection

I took this photo of displaced children  in 2004. All across Darfur- even before the desperate need for water and food  came the plea for protection.   Can there be a more visceral plea from the human heart? Yet no adequate protection has come for the people of Darfur.
This week, in response to the new UN report, the utterly shameless Sudanese ambassador to the United Nations, Abdalmahmoud Abdalhaleem says the U.N./African Union Peacekeeping Mission (UNAMID) should get out because there is no longer any conflict in Darfur.    The UN report accuses the Sudanese government of harassing peacekeepers and obstructing their movements throughout the region.    Outrageously the Khartoum cabal headed by man indicted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity including the murder, rape, pillaging and displacement of millions, is able to dictate which parts of Darfur may and may not be accessed by international peacekeepers.
