UN Taking Staff Out of Darfur
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

During a recent scan of the BBC's website I noticed an article talking about how the United Nations is taking some of it's staff out of Darfur. The article can be seen here. The reason for the evacuation was said to be because the leader of Sudan was accused of genocide and too many UN personnel were being harmed while working on location.

I think that there are two ways to look at the situation. One perspective could agree with the UN's decision and think that too many UN personnel are being harmed, even killed. It can be noted that on July 8, seven peace keepers were killed and 22 injured. And that's not what they came for. They came to help the people of Darfur.

However, this leads to the second perspective that says that these people did come to help the people of Darfur so if they get hurt, maybe that's what has to happen to get attention on the crisis that is going on.
