Things are not getting better in Darfur.

This is discouraging news:

Citing increased violence in the region, the United Nations has announced it is pulling some of its staff out of Sudan's West Darfur state. "It's a precautionary measure because of the violence. Just in case one would need an evacuation, you'd have fewer people to evacuate," a UN spokeswoman said. AlertNet.org/Reuters (10/13), ABC (Australia) (10/14)
