The African Union...on Darfur

Why is the AU so helpless on its own continent? How much more misery and mystery must the Darfur story convey before there be peace for all?

What was that whole thing about "Peer Review Mechanism" flaunted by African Leaders as a veritable part of NEPAD?

The Arab League, what is their stand on Darfur and their standing in the AU? Lip service?

Is Darfur going to be a metaphor for Somalia, too?

God help Africa!

Darfur. And I worry.

All Africans should worry. The Sudanese leaders and people must worry. The issues are now of such magnitude and concern that the world's peoples spoke unmistakably worldwide this day. No leader should under-rate, ignore or dismiss these portends. They are grave.

No-one can damn this call, this cry. Not the country, not the continent, not the globe.

Africa must get Khartoun to relent and comply with the UN Security Council resolutions...now. Delay is dangerous for Darfur, and injurious to the nation's future. It is bad for Africa. Very bad.

Again, action is....TODAY!
