Sudan refuses to cooperate with efforts to end the conflict in Darfur

I think the international community has tried very hard to address the issue of Darfur but I am ashamed by the total indifference of the Islamic world to the continuing genocide. It is hypocritical on the part of Muslims to take to the streets against the so-called "West" at the slightest excuse but when it comes to atrocities committed by our own brethren, nothing happens. It is time we started living up to our responsibilities also instead of always talking about our rights.

It's about time that the African nations started taking a little responsibility for affairs on their own continent. They should take the lead in Sudan and Zimbabwe and show the world that they have some political maturity, instead of just waiting for handouts and for the rest of the world to bail them out. The leaders of the African nations are the most corrupt in the world and most of the aid money disappears into their private bank
