The United Nations humanitarian chief kicked off a five-day trip to Sudan today to assess relief programmes in the south of the vast African country and its war-torn Darfur region.
Aid agencies are particularly concerned about the situation in the western Sudanese region of Darfur since the Government expelled 13 international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and revoked the permits of three local groups after the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague issued an arrest warrant in early March for President Omar Al-Bashir for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
United Nations Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs John Holmes will review living conditions for the local populations in areas affected by the NGO expulsions in Darfur, where an estimated 300,000 people have been killed and another 2.7 million have been forced from their homes since 2003.
Before arriving in Darfur, Mr. Holmes, who is also the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, is slated to travel to Southern Sudan on Friday, where he will meet UN humanitarian officials and representatives from the Government of Southern Sudan.

[This inspiring poem was featuring in the movie Coach Carter ]
Our Deepest Fear Is Not That We Are Inadequate,
Our Deepest Fear Is That We Are Powerful Beyond Measure.
It Is Our Light , Not Our Darkness That Most Frightens Us.
We Ask Ourselves, Who Am I To Be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, And Fabulous ?
Actually Who Are We Not To Be ? You Are A Child Of God.
Your Playing Small Doesnt Serve The World.
There Is Nothing Enlightened About Shrinking So That Other People Wont Feel Insecure Around You.
We Are All Meant To Shine, As Children Do.
We Were Born To Make Manifest The Glory Of God That Is Within Us.
Its Not Just In Some Of Us; Its In Everyone.
And When We Let Our Own Light Shine
We Unconsciously Give Other People Permission To Do The Same.
And As We Are Liberated From Our Own Fear, Our Presence Automatically Liberates Others

[NOTE BEING AFRAID AND REFUSING TO GET INVOLVED WONT STOP US FROM DYING. BUT BEING AFRAID CANT PREVENT US FROM LIVING]
(Nkosi Sikeleli Africa )
God bless Africa May her glory be lifted high Hear our petitions .
God bless us, Your children
God we ask You to protect our nation Intervene and end all conflicts
Protect us, protect our nation, our nation.
From the blue of our heaven, From the depths of our sea,
Over our eternal mountain ranges, Where the cliffs give answer.
Sounds the call to come together, And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom, In South Africa our land.
[Enoch Mankayi Sontonga]
