| UN Security Council resolution warns Sudan over Darfur |
| 2004-07-30 |
| The UN Security Council today passed a resolution warning Sudan to halt atrocities in the Darfur region within 30 days or face international action. Thirteen members of the 15-nation council backed the resolution with two abstentions. Up to 50,000 people have died and more than a million driven from their homes in Darfur since ethnic minority rebels launched an uprising last year against the Sudanese army and its Arab militia allies, the Janjaweed. |

| #7 Evidently, China is the country that is threatening to boycott any resolutions that niggle too far at holding the Sudan accountable for Human Rights violations. PRC is always a strong force for good throughout the world. |

| #5 Unfortunately, nothing will happen before the election anyway. This is gamesmanship for the winter. |

| #4 Here we go (again). Warnings, warnings, and more warnings. And what happens if Sudan doesn't put a stop to what's going on? Even more warnings? |
