Breaking on Alertnet: RedCross Worker Killed in Darfur

A 31 year old Sudanese national working for the Red Cross was abducted and killed in the Darfur region. He was killed by an armed group.

This is really serious because the Red Cross may have to pull out if their workers are not safe.

This man was the first ICRC staff member to be killed in Darfur.

I also saw another article just a few minutes ago that there is a real fear that the Darfur conflict will spread to other areas in Africa.

1. As long as China gets the oil.....
Nothing will be done about it.

That is truly sad.

2. Darfur is absolutely awful.
And no ones seems to be doing much about it at all. Just letting millions of people die.

The guy is a college professor who is not right-wing, and he spends a lot of time in Sudan:
