It’s a poor choice of words, but here’s a harrowing report from the commander of the South African contingent of the African Union’s monitors in Darfur:
Colonel Barry Steyn […] says he counts bodies of Sudan army and Janjaweed victims each week and sends classified reports to Addis Ababa. Describing maggot-infested decomposing skulls, he says: “You believe there�s an inherent goodness in people, but you see some of these villages and it shakes that belief. You look at this stuff and it makes you turn dead white.”
There’s more (like the Russian explanation of why they not only abstained from the UN Security Council resolution last night, but also how they hope to sell more weapons to the Sudan government) at Passion of the Present.
