Why We’re Activists

From Bec Hamilton’s September 3, 2009 Newsweek article “Mission Not Accomplished”:

“Many critical humanitarian services that Darfuri civilians relied on have been cut back or halted since the Sudanese government expelled key aid agencies after the president was indicted by the International Criminal Court in March this year. For women and girls, the situation is particularly dire. The organizations expelled were the ones that provided medical care, and psychosocial and legal services to women and girls who had been raped—something that happens with depressing regularity whenever they try to leave the outskirts of the camps.”

    Exactly...how can General Gration paint such an optimistic picture when the humanitarian aid sytem has been crippled by Khartoum? Only when aid delivery is back to 100% can he and the Obama administration reasonably claim credit.
