Take a drive in your car and just imagine

by Matthew Good from the Aldergrove Star

Take a drive in your car and just imagine On the other side of the world, in the war-torn and arid Sudanese region of Darfur ... The United Nations Security Council has been of little effect when it comes to confronting the problem in Darfur. The Chinese and Russians have blocked attempts to properly hold the government in Khartoum accountable, primarily because the Chinese, for example, do a considerable amount of business with Sudan, be it to do with oil exports of the sale of arms. And while the Bush administration has condemned the government there, and has been forthright enough to categorize what is transpiring in Darfur as genocide, it is currently co-operating with the Sudanese government, using Sudanese nationals to infiltrate Salafi Jihadi extremist groups in Iraq.
