Arab League might impose Libya "no fly" zone. Bombing on-going in Darfur region
The Arab League declared today that if fighting continues in Libya,  it could impose a "no fly" zone in coordination with the African Union.  

The Arab world has not suggested a no fly zone over Darfur.
 Bombing upon civilians in Darfur continue. Last month 30,000 people fled attacks upon 13 villages. The newly displaced joined the 2.7 million people in wretched camps  scattered across Darfur and eastern Chad.

It is interesting that when youth across the Arab world demanded freedom from tyranny and new, representational governance, the free world cheered them on.    Yet when, in 2003,  Darfur’s people rose up demanding these same rights and freedoms,  the world did nothing- even in the face of genocide.
