LONDON (AFP) - Protests took place around the world on Sunday to demand that world leaders act to prevent further bloodshed in Darfur on the fourth anniversary of the conflict's start.

The Global Day for Darfur, organised by a coalition of rights groups including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, saw activists around the world turn over more than 10,000 hourglasses filled with fake blood.

These are designed to convey the message that delaying intervention will cost even more lives in the troubled western region of Sudan.

The conflict has caused 200,000 deaths and led to two million people being displaced, according to the United Nations. Sudan contests the figures, saying that only 9,000 have died.

So what action do these lovable protesters want? Sudan consists of 4 major tribes all which are armed and few that like the government in place. It also homes Al-Quada which is also armed to the teeth.

Now if we "take action" some trees and flowers may just fall in the process that'll bring out these same lovely folk out screaming about us doing it for Darfurs vast oil reserves.

I got a GRAND idea.......for once lets put all these petunia pushers on a boat direct to Somalia so they can "talk" to the people and reason the situation out.

Have a good one!:s4:
