Look Out for the Rwandans

Monday, August 08, 2005 by Sam Davidson

In hopes of raising awareness about the reality of genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan, Sam writes every Monday about a key issue in an attempt to stop the atrocity. Doing so may not bring about a wave of change, but it is a small ripple that represents the tide that needs turning.
Great news out of Darfur this morning: Rwanda is sending a second batallion of troops to help keep the peace in Darfur. This follows a previous commitment by Rwanda to send troops, hoping to do what little they can to stop the genocide and prevent "Hotel Darfur."
What's more, the African Union also plans on sending in troops to safeguard the area. These units will be comprised of soldiers and police from South Africa, Nigeria and Senegal.
Who could have imagined a day when Senegal and Rwanda would do more for a country in dire need than the United States?
Rwanda = 538, U.S = 0.
