An Oxfam spokesperson recently that:
“International attention has turned away from Darfur at a time when it is desperately needed. Recent fighting has killed hundreds of people, forced thousands from their homes and hindered access to some of the worst affected areas for months. In areas such as Eastern Jebel Marra, humanitarian workers do not have any access at all."
Taking a global view, one need only add that many sites of mass bloodshed never recieve a fraction of the "international attention" that, though no longer interested in Darfuri suffering, was once bestowed upon the region.
