UN inaction on Darfur

Madam, - The United Nations' inaction on Darfur is a disgrace

Madam, - The United Nations' inaction on Darfur is a disgrace. Everyone knows the Islamic Sudanese Government is backing the Janjaweed militia's campaign of rape, murder and pillage. Tens of thousand have already been killed and over a million have had to flee their homes, yet the international community stands by allowing this to happen.

We need a UN force to disarm the militia and bring peace to the region. Sanctions will not prevent a humanitarian disaster.

I applaud organisations such as Amnesty International and Goal for bringing this terrible situation to the attention of the world. - Yours, etc.,

BRIAN KEDNEY,
