New York Times:China’s Economy Growing at a Breakneck Pace

To day Chinas economy went up 11.9 percent rewriting the record books to the fastest growing country in over a decade. When asked how they grew so fast china replies by saying that they did massive trades, new factories, roads, bridges, and real estate. I think that it’s very coincidental that the leading supplying country in the war in Darfur is china, and all of a sudden the leading supplier is now the leading country growing economically. Not only are they a leading supplier for the war in Darfur but also the war on global warming and pollution. I think that they are the leading country economically for the wrong reason. i think its safe to say that there leading economicaly because alot of there money and oil come straight from sudan. And in return the money that they give is exchanged for weapons that they send and those weapons are used to kill innocent tribal people. so think twice befor you call china a "leader".

new york times:Sudan: Underground Lake Could Ease Darfur Crisis

Water in Sudan! To day researches at Boston University found an extra source of water in western Sudan. It appears to be a lake about the size of Massachusetts or the popular lake Erie. This new water source can be a big help on the crisis in Darfur. At night girls go fetch water from pales far out of their native Darfur village. Boys don’t fetch water because they are high at risk of being murdered, while the girls go out because they wont be killed they’ll be raped! And that’s a dreadful decision that the mothers of these children have to face. A Geologist team has made a plan to add 1,000 Wales to be dug for farmers, and herders to cease the problem of competition over scarce resources, which in this case its water.
