It was the Senate that officially condemned it as genocide. Once again. we see no real response by the international community. This past Friday. the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees warned that the situation in the Darfur region of the Sudan is getting worse. Where is the international communitys response? Innocent civilians continue to be targeted by the Sudanese Government in Khartoum and its allied Janjaweed militias. The Janjaweed have even caused the United Nations to temporarily suspend some of its relief activities in many areas of Darfur. In the words of the High Commissioner. the situation is "extremely nasty. with ugly events." Last month. 400 Janjaweed Arab militia on camels and horseback attacked a refugee camp killing 35 people. wounding 10 others. More than 80 homes were burned to the ground. On October 8. an African Union convoy was ambushed in the southern part of Darfur.
