This crime is said to have been committed by the militia. Knowing fully that the principal backer and arms supplier for the militia is the US, the secretay-General is implored to appeal to the US to prevail on the militia to stop this and similar crimes in the Darfur so that peace can return to the Sudan. With several millions alredy killed in the Sudan as a rsult of the effort of the US to take control of the mineral resources of the Southen Sudan, the world should appeal to the US to allow Sudan to live in peace. ALL THE WORLD IS SAYING IS, US, GIVE PEACE A CHANCE!

The killing of AU/UN forces in Darfur is regretable and should be universally condemned. I have always felt that Darfur, Sudan should always be the main headline of this website, but alas it is not. What the headline has been again and again ...and again is Zimbabwe. Some have alluded to the fact that Zimbabwe has white anglo people who are more important than any issue in Africa, including the Darfur region - That is racism. Darfur, (despite repeatedly BBC show case of the bad rule in Zimbabwe) should be the number one priority in Africa and the international Community.

Despite the problems in Zimbabwe, many African nations have stepped up to assistant Zimbabwe, especially the Southern Africa Community. President Mbeki and Mwanawasa have taken the lead in confronting the Robert Mugabe rule. At least there is meaningful dialogo whithin Africa on Zimbabwe. My heart bleeds for Darfur and that there is really no Dialogue within Africa. More importantly Africa has requested help from the western world on Darfur, but certain western countries like the British only want to talk about Zimbabwe. I feel Africa should confront the UK to stop setting goals for Africa. They UK now has hijacked the African agenda on darfur in preferance of their brethren in Zimbabwe.

Please, stop blaming the Uk for helping us to solve our problems that are caused by idiots within us. See the role of that useless mbeki of South Africa in Zimbagwe and confirm or deny if we are not own sworn enemies. This Darfur thing is costing Nigeria in men and fiscal resources so far. About a month or two ago, 46 soldiers who were returning from Darfur perished in an auto accident.

I don't think it is wrong focusing on the situation in Zimbabwe. Theirs is a case of abnomalility. The triving issues in Zimbabwe are not as common as the cases of killing and attack on peacekeepers as it is today in Sudan. That is what journalism is all about; reportage of strange issues. So i dont subscribe to the unnamed author's idea that this site is overdoing it. Thanks, I appreciate Allafrica. Otebe
