90 days to stop disaster in Africa
A huge operation to tackle the world's worst unfolding humanitarian crisis will swing into action today following a warning that up to 300 000 people in Sudan could die within months even if essential aid gets through.

The United Nations will launch a 90-day emergency programme after securing promises of funds from the US and other countries at a conference in Geneva.

The UN on Friday described a developing catastrophe in the region of Darfur and said the relief effort was crucial "to avoid massive death and starvation".

Now I remeber aWol flying off to Africa the last time he tried to hide from answering questions about Iraq. In Africa, he said he was 'committed to Africa.'
