Ian –

Thanks for your important post on the Darfur crisis.

I hold a Masters Degree in International Development and I am [seriously] thinking about developing an online humanitarian aid site. The project would start off with a small pilot project to try and raise funds for refuge orphans that have been displaced by the crisis in Sudan. All funds that are raised would go towards helping the people in need. If successful, I have a long-term, sustainable project that would be created from the pilot project.

I will most likely create the site using WordPress but if there are any programmers out there that would like to assist me with some end user functionality they can email me at mark_w_hayward[at]yahoo[dot]com.

Kind regards,
Mark

Tough questions. I think Western countries’ reluctance to intervene in Darfur in any meaningful way is underscored to some extent by domestic pressure. How popular would it be to enter into Darfur and fight?

And then there’s the question: How will invading Darfur benefit us? Certain Western leaders appear more inclined to forcibly intervene in another country’s domestic affairs when there’s $$$ to gain…
