In May. Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Weisel called Darfur "the capital of suffering." He called on all of us to "tell the victims they are not alone." Violence continues in Darfur. as the Sudanese government attacked two internally displaced camps in the past week. On October 19. the Militia attacked the Kalma refugee camp. the largest in Darfur. Additionally. on Oct. 22. the Hamidiya camp near the town of Zalengei was attacked in a series of clashes between government troops and rebel groups. The killings of African Union peacekeepers and World Food Programme contract drivers combined with detentions of humanitarian workers in the conflictridden Darfur region of western Sudan are just a few examples of a deteriorating situation. which is prompting increased anxiety by those affected by the ongoing crisis. as well as by those responding to the emergency.
