^^You do realize that it's a british medical journal, right? To my knowledge it's not an election year there.The methadology is the the same one the us government relies on when they say "x number of people died in darfur". What is certain to give a very inaccurate number is to do what the us is doing to arrive at their number, which is to look a dead certificates in a place with basically no government. Who counts the dead once the gravedigger is killed? By that methadology the death toll in darfur is 0.
