- Arab Nomads, 'Not Pro-Anything,' Also Suffer in Darfur
  Posted by Jeff from Washington Post
  The vast majority of the estimated 450,000 people killed and the 2.5 million displaced in Darfur since 2003 have been black African farmers targeted in a brutal government-led campaign to crush a rebellion. But the conflict has also affected nomadic Arabs, who until recently were largely overlooked by the largest relief effort in the world.

- Five African Union soldiers killed in Darfur
  Posted by Jeff from Guardian UK
  Peacekeepers were first deployed in Darfur in August 2004, 18 months after local rebels attacked a military base. In retaliation the government and its proxy militias had launched a scorched earth policy against local sedentary tribes, killing tens of thousands of civilians and displacing more than 2 million people.

Rights groups bemoan lack of Beijing protests

Yeah, you’re right about that, but unlike other communist dictatorships China is allowing westernization and capitalism in at the edges. The USSR collapsed, and Venezuela is heading that way, because they didn’t allow it.
I think it will be interesting to see how that evolves, especially as illegal internet access starts to creep in around the edges.
It’s a wonder that there are still people in the west singing the virtues of communism. Some of them teach in and run our colleges and Universities.

Communist dictatorship suppresses dissent.
What’s the matter, you thought the Chinese government was nice?
Think of the most oppressive government action you can.
Then check to see if China has done it.
You’ll find it has.

Well, it’s China. Is anyone surprised by this?
I think that as time goes on China will find it increasing hard to keep that iron lock on society and still allow modernization. It will be interesting see see how that resolves.
