Africa Current Event 3

There have recently been some bombings in Sudan, in an area north of Darfur. This was just after some reports that there was a truce between the government and the rebels. This was to try and stop violence and the suffering of humans. About 300,000 people have been killed in Darfur in the past 5 years and about 2.7 million have had to flee from their homes. This is all because of the constant fighting that has been going on between the Sudanese government and the rebels. Today, Haroun Lual Ron, the Government's Humanitarian Affairs Minister, announced facilitating humanitarian assistance in Sudan until 2010. This is meant to help the homeless refugees and give relief to the people. This plan will start in early 2009.
I think this is a good article to read because refers to news that is happening right now. It talks about the bombings and the fighting that has been going on in Sudan for the past 5 years. It also talks about hope, which is always good. It talks about how the UN has decided to extend their programs to ensure more safety and help to the people of Sudan.
