Irony Update: 150 Rwandan troops to deploy in Darfur

IHT:

The first half of a 300-member African protection force will deploy in the Sudanese region of Darfur this weekend, an African Union official said
150???? 150 troops are going to stop genocide? Wait, more troops on the way:
The pan-African force will consist of 150 Rwandan troops and 150 Nigerian soldiers who will be tasked with protecting an AU team of observers monitoring a ceasefire between Khartoum and Darfur rebels.
300. Yeah, that will do it.

Do you think those Rwandan troops will get a giggle out of the irony of it all? I would....if I could just get past my feelings of deep despair and uncontrollable urge to cry.

1 Here's to hoping that the Rwandans are pissed at the sight of more genocide and UN apathy. They have guns, they know how to use them.

2 Maybe, but I hear they're more comfortable with machetes. (excuse the dark humor here, but this is just too sad)

3 You're right, it is too damn sad. Why have they suddenly taken it off the news? What's a tps report? gotta go, lightening. ~C
