Violence in Sudan

by megan smith

Just when the world was thinking the situation in Sudan was calming down a bit, tragedy struck again. A reported 139 people have been killed, and about another 45 injured in the latest cattle based conflict. With the UN simply stating that this attack in conjunction with the overall rise in violence is a 'deep concern', steps from the outside world are still not being taken to aid those being effected. According to Al Jazeera this rise in violence has killed thousands, and displaced around 250,000 more people. The simple fact is that this kind of constant violence can not continue, but without other nations stepping in a lending a hand, it never will.
