GENERAL INFO 3.

Hey guys,

The Washington Post just put out a recent article on the several attacks that have been going on in Sudan. 7 Peacekeepers were killed (14hrs.) ago when their "convoy was ambushed in Darfur" (1). There were 60 Peacekeepers on patrol but only 7 were killed and another 6 six were injured. To me this is both ironic (in the not funny sort of way) that a Peacekeeper would be killed and it is also infuriating that these people who are just attempting to keep things in place are being held by thread. Furthermore, the firefight went on for 2 hours and this is actually the first time that the Peacekeepers have actually ever combated force with force in this whole conflict.

This has been the deadliest attack they have faced, and I hope that they don't face anymore. People have speculated that the fight would soon be over but violence still ensues. I personally just want the fighting to come to an end, however, we must also focus on the people of Sudan should be placed back in the lives that they have lost. I really hope that the conflict will stop... over 250,000 people have died and I think thats notice enough that not only The President but everyone else should stop. Think. Take notice. Change the future.
