Darfur : Episode 2

Will Sanctions End the Darfur Killing?

"Despite the sanctions announced Tuesday by President Bush, the coming months will see more horrifying news of massacres from Darfur, more wrenching refugee tales, more urgent calls for action".Won't sanctions make it worse for the people in Sudan?Shouldn't the international community give aid to Sudan instead of cornering them and potentially worsening the conditions there?Humanitarian conditions are worsening there,is placing a sanction really going to help Sudan in any way at all?I guess it is one way to control the violence taking place there but the Sudan people are already deprived of so many things,and the innocent are usually the victim here.Even with sanctions,the rebels would find ways to get firearm supplies easily if they wanted to.It's the people of Sudan that should be the main concern.The innocent men,women,children who just happened to be stuck smack in the middle of everything.The international community should instead work harder to help out with the peace agreements,if we really do want to help out.Violence sure as heck does not solve anything,and the examples are still here for us to see (Iraq.duh) Sure,discussions have long been going on and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere but that's the thing,if for once,just for once,we were to think of the welfare of the country actually in the deepest part of the muck,anything is achieveable.It's wishful thinking but can actually be reality if we only stop thinking about gaining profit for ourselves and for once,think of the people of Sudan,who by right,should have all the say in this thing.Their voices can't be heard,and they are the victims of the situation.Think of them,and not of ourselves.Save Darfur,but also respect their independence.Help them,but don't expect anything in return.Give aid,not create more violence.They've suffered enough.

"In Darfur, it would be better to help the Sudanese get over the crisis so their country is pacified rather than sanctions which would push them back to their misdeeds of old," junior Foreign Minister Renaud Muselier told French radio.
