[DupyLinks] Britain presses for UN to move into Darfur - Yahoo! News
[http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060222/wl_uk_afp/britainunsudandarfur]
Good to see Britain getting into the mix. It is certain that the African Union troops have done what they could, but an international force is essential now.

[DupyLinks] Bolton chides Annan on UN planning for Darfur force
[http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N20330750.htm]
"The United States has sent four military planners to help the United Nations map out a Darfur mission to take over the underfinanced African Union, which has 7,000 troops and monitors in the vast western region of Sudan.
Bolton said that while the United Nations had begun contingency planning 'a lot more could be done.'"
"Bolton has distributed what he called "elements of a resolution" to the other 14 Security Council members outlining the duties of future peacekeepers in Darfur, rather than awaiting the result of U.N. planning."
Wow, I'm impressed by this. Kudos to the US federal government, they look like they really are committed to ending violence in Darfur. Hopefully Bolton can help cut through the bureaucracy and the Security Council can pass a resolution soon.

[DupyLinks] UN troubled by Chechens' plight
[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4735176.stm]
This story talks about IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons) from Chechnya who live in squalid refugee camps in Russia. Notice that the UN Human Rights Commission, not the UN High Commissioner on Refugees, is handling this issue. This is because IDPs aren't considered refugees by the United Nations. I think they should be, though. If they were, they would be protected from refoulement and be covered by the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees. These Chechen people might as well be international refugees because they obviously don't have the same rights as regular Russian citizens.

This editorial shows how the horrors of the 1994 genocide still affect every aspect of Rwandan life, even 12 years later.

[DupyLinks] Rwanda fired up by methane plans
[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4698278.stm]
It seems to me like Rwanda is leading the way in the Great Lakes area of Africa. They are developing quickly, and this natural gas could make them an electricity supplier to the whole region.

The Big Bash
Almost a year ago now, Weston and I started picking a "Country Song of the Week (CSOTW)." It became a tradition to pick a CSOTW for each Thursday night (Hot Country Night at the Beach). Now the Weston and Kylan CSOTW list is probably the best part of this website. Since the one-year birthday of the CSOTW is just around the corner, we're planning a Big Bash to celebrate. Check it out by following the link on the sidebar. You're all invited!
[DupyUpdate] DupyLinks Finally Works
OK, so I finally fixed the problem with DupyLinks. The original plan was for it to work like this:
-I find a page/site I like on the internet
-I click BlogThis on my browser
-I make some comments
-I publish the post
-Everyone in the world has access to this page by clicking on the post title.
When I set everything up, though, the post titles never turned into links. Which sort of defeated the whole purpose of having a "links" category on this blog. Plus, I'm too lazy (my professor said that all good programmers are really just lazy) to type in the URL every time I want to include a link on my blog. Anyway, I finally got some time today to get the problem figured out, and now it all works as it should.

[DupyLinks] Bush: Darfur force should double - Yahoo! News
[http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060217/pl_afp/ussudandarfurunrest]
This is a good sign, President Bush is being pretty vocal about stopping the genocide in Darfur. Apparantly, Secretary of State Rice repeated the administrations claims that the violence as genocide. Now if only we can back up our words with some action...
