UN: Sudan Facing World’s Greatest Humanitarian Crisis

HeadlineMar 24, 2004

This news from Africa: a United Nations official Mukesh Kapila in Sudan has issued a grave warning about the situation there. He told the BBC, “This is ethnic cleansing. This is the world’s greatest humanitarian crisis, and I don’t know why the world isn’t doing more about it.” The official compared the government’s program of ethnic cleansing, systematic rape, and murder to the Rwandan genocide. At least 100 women were raped recently in a single attack. 700,000 people have been forced to flee their homes.
