UN to meet on Darfur | |
2005-03-05 | |
The United Nations Security Council is expected to meet on the ethnic conflict and humanitarian crisis in Sudan's Darfur region, a UN spokesperson has said. UN spokesman Fred Eckhardon on Friday said the situation in Darfur has deteriorated because insufficient measures have been taken to stop the fighting. "All would agree that not enough has been done to bring the security situation under control," Eckhard said. Given the urgency on the ground, the 15-nation council will meet on Monday at the request of Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Eckhard said.

#4 I'm sure you exaggerate, Fred. Surely sometime in the last decade they were given time off for the Christmas and Easter holidays to spend with their families. |

#3 The US is not a tyranny and thus doesn't belong in the UN. |

#2 Yeah, they're going to hold a meeting to discuss appointing a committee to study whether they should convene a meeting to decide whether they should appoint a committee to look into As soon as all the non-moslems and blacks in the region are dead. How do you spell "united nations"? U-S-E-L-E-S-S (Alternate spelling: D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S) (Preferred spelling: C-R-I-M-I-N-A-L) |
