WORLD SILENCE DEAFENING ON DARFUR GENOCIDE

Why, in G-d's name is no one listening? The world only sees Israel, the most benevolent of societies, as the great evil. They are exterminating the Africans in Darfur.............the slavery, the murder, the illness,where is our humanity? And dont forget last week's post on SLAVERY IN NIGER (CLICK)..........
UN's Darfur death estimate soars
Refugees in Darfur
Many refugees have died from preventable causes
At least 180,000 people may have died in Sudan's Darfur region over the past 18 months, according to the United Nations' top emergency relief official.

Jan Egeland said the figure refers to victims of illness and malnutrition and excludes those who have been killed in the ethnic violence.

The UN previously gave an estimate of 70,000 non-conflict deaths.

Pro-government militia are accused of killing and raping villagers and driving two million from their homes.

The UN has not put a figure on violent deaths in the region. [of course not might call attention to their massive failure]

Attacks 'continuing'

An average of 10,000 people have died each month over the past year-and-a-half from disease and other preventable causes, the emergency relief chief said.


"It could be just as well more than 200,000 [over 18 months] but I think 10,000 a month... is a reasonable figure," Mr Egeland told AFP news agency.

Last year, the World Health Organisation said it believed 10,0000 people had died each month from March to October, mostly from disease and some from random violence in camps.
