Link: Obama picks 'humanitarian' general for Sudan [Taiwan News]
President Barack Obama has selected a special envoy to Sudan and has described retired Air Force major general J. Scott Gration as a humanitarian.
Obama denounced the expulsion of humanitarian organisations in Sudan as 'disastrous' and has called the Sudan situation as a priority for his administration. He has said that the Sudan government would be held accountable for lives lost in Sudan.

I am not shy, missus emm. I live here in the united states. I hope that this appointment will yield positive change for the Sudanese people. I suppose for now I have hope. We need only watch and see.

@ Keith: Thanks for stopping by! I'm glad you're not shy but many people are too shy to leave comments on blogs. Which is a pity. It must be very exciting living in the US right now - you must feel similar to how we felt in South Africa when Mandela becae president - hopeful.
Thank you for commenting because you introduced me to the One World blog.
@ El Titan: Your English was perfect! Thanks for stopping by!
