Over recent months, the dramatic plight of the peoples of the Darfur
province of western Sudan has received a great deal of attention from
western governments, politicians, journalists and newscasters.
Unfortunately, there is nothing exceptional about the situation in
Darfur. Throughout the underdeveloped world, and particularly in
Africa, starvation, mass displacement of populations, torture, rape,
pillage and massacres are commonplace.
