It is with great joy that I read today about the UN's long overdue approval of an international mission to Darfur. The mission will include 4 times more personnel as the current African Union mission. The AU has been struggling for so long with limited funding and insufficient material and manpower. It is a disgrace that the genocide in Darfur has been allowed to go on for so long. I genuinely hope that the UN and AU troops will have a powerfull enough mandate for their mission. They need to be allowed to do their work in this region that has for so long been ravaged by Janjaweed thugs and Sudanese militias. This is a good start for SG Ban Ki-moon. Let's see if the UN bureaucracy can get its operational act together and that UN troops will soon arrive in the region. I may not agree with all the western military intervention in the world, but I strongly feel that this is a much needed mission. Dear Clea Koff (recommended read: the Bone Woman) after stability is restored in Darfur, there may be more good work for scientists like you. Like in Rwanda and Bosnia, the people behind the killing need to be held responsible for their actions. Mr. Rodolphe Adada will lead the AU-UN peacekeeping mission and he may well be the best person for the job. I'm very happy with this news, life is not only about work, studying, money and fun.

UN mission to Darfur is a GO
