    Spills over into another neighbor..........I thought this was going to be an article on Chad....very interesting, the Central African Republic is now being impacted.......the U.N. wants the Organization of African States to send peacekeepers to Chad because of spill over from Darfur. Chad should get the current administration interested in this situation, since Chad has oil.

    Well I guess the spillage is not having a detrimental effect on Chad's oil production. What i do know is that if the tragedy of Darfur where occuring in say Nigeria, the powers that be would have stepped in a long time ago.

    Nigeria is already a mess......but they're keeping the oil flowing.

    I suspect that there is the possibility of Chad's oil extraction being damaged...that's probably why the U.N. (the Security Council??) recently approved a resolution for peacekeepers there (composed of soldiers from the OAS). It is a new oil-producing country........nowhere near the volume of Nigeria yet.

    "Spills over into another neighbor..."

    The U.N. at it's finest.

    The UN has it's flaws, but to blame the UN for this is pretty moronic. The UN could only do so much and it relies on it's most powerfull member states to assist when it's own resources are not enough. What is happening in the Sudan is the samething that happened in Rwanda. The UN could control the violence because it's own forces where no enough to do so. Countries like France, UK, and the US refused to do anything. We are repeating Rwanda all over again and instead of blaming the powefull nations of this world, who have the resources to aid the UN, you take the low road and blame the UN.
