Sudan And Chad, China And NATO

I’m amazed that the situation in Sudan isn’t getting more attention. I constantly wonder how many more people have to die until the world takes action. A proxy war is taking place between Chad and Sudan and the largest casualties belong to the civilians.

It’s one thing to have pedestrian victims when your government is at war, but it’s another situation entirely to be the target of attack. The latter is the situation in Sudan. More succintly, genocide is before us and external intervention by NATO is required.

China’s interested, not in the humanitarian needs of the Sudanese people, but only because the Sudanese government is quick to supply the energy hungry Chinese with plenty of oil.

Not that China would ever consider intervening in Sudan considering their own lousy record and the possibility of losing access to oil. As self-described “people of the civilized world,” it’s time for NATO to focus on the fact that 300,000 civilians have died in the most recent violence and many more could suffer the same.
