THOMAS CALANDRELLA is photoblogging the Darfur rally. He's posted a larger gallery of photos here. The photos you see in this post are his, used by permission.

I don't know how much attention this rally will get in the mainstream press, and I rather doubt that the United Nations crowd reads a lot of weblogs. But I hope that posting this kind of stuff will bring the matter some degree of attention.

Survey concludes deaths in Darfur exceed the emergency threshold
Humanitarian efforts in Darfur to date have prevented even higher death rates

13 SEPTEMBER 2004 | GENEVA -- A mortality survey has just been conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Sudan's Ministry of Health in two of the States in Sudan's Darfur region. It concludes that death rates amongst internally displaced people still surpass the threshold for a humanitarian emergency, underscoring the need for urgent increases in, and focus on, assistance to displaced people in the region.

1.2 million people in Darfur region have fled their villages and are camped in 129 settlements across an area the size of France. The "crude mortality rate" that is usually used to define a humanitarian crisis is one death per 10 000 people per day. The WHO survey found the crude mortality rate to be 1.5 deaths per 10 000 people per day in North Darfur, and 2.9 in West Darfur. The survey looked at overall deaths and their causes between 15 June and 15 August 2004. Results show that displaced people, in North and West Darfur are dying at between three and six times the expected rate...

Move along, no genocide here, move along...

Genocide is such a harsh word. Mr. Powell must have been mistaken. (sarcasm)

When something IS done, whether by US or some other forum, we can be sure that their will be blame put on the US doorstep for 'time wasted' 'tactics used' 'anything that will do.'

In the meantime, the genocide continues...

I totally agree. It doesn't seem to matter what the USA does. If we send in troops/aid, the US will be condemned for interferring. If we dont send in troops/aid, we will be condemned for not stopping the genocide. Meanwhile, every other nation on earth is given a pass while the UN throws rhetoric at the problem.

The EU is so anti-Bush they'll disagree on anything
iran- "no terrorism"
iraq- "no problem"
sudan- "no genocide"

China and Russia are awash in oil money from Sudan, so they pretend nothing is happening.

And the Arab states, well they deny anything America says, let alone educated Muslims or others.

hate to say but its America and a coalition of the willing (African Union, Britain, Australia) that will be dealing with this
